The HCF of 132,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 132,958
2 | 132, 958 |
66, 479 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 132
:1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Now, list down the factors of 958
:1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,485
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/68,958/485 is 2/32980
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 68,485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,485) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,485) = ( 68 × 485 ) / 1
LCM(68,485) = 32980 / 1
LCM(68,485) = 32980
