The HCF of 100,574 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 100,574
2 | 100, 574 |
50, 287 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Now, list down the factors of 574
:1,2,7,14,41,82,287,574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,574 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/76,574/473 is 2/35948
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 76,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(76,473) = ( 76 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(76,473) = 35948 / 1
LCM(76,473) = 35948
