The factors of 362 are 1, 2, 181, 362
The HCF of 124,362 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 124,362
2 | 124, 362 |
62, 181 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 124
:1,2,4,31,62,124
Now, list down the factors of 362
:1,2,181,362
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 124,362 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 124,362 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,1741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151467
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/151467
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 124/87,362/1741 is 2/151467
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 87,1741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,1741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,1741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,1741) = ( 87 × 1741 ) / 1
LCM(87,1741) = 151467 / 1
LCM(87,1741) = 151467
