The HCF of 123,747 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 123,747
3 | 123, 747 |
41, 249 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 123
:1,3,41,123
Now, list down the factors of 747
:1,3,9,83,249,747
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 123,747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 123,747 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 899,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 226548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/226548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 123/899,747/252 is 3/226548
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 899,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(899,252) = ( 899 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(899,252) = 226548 / 1
LCM(899,252) = 226548
