The factors of 838 are 1, 2, 419, 838
The HCF of 132,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 132,838
2 | 132, 838 |
66, 419 |
∴ 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 838
:1,2,419,838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39995
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/39995
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/95,838/421 is 2/39995
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 95,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,421) = ( 95 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(95,421) = 39995 / 1
LCM(95,421) = 39995
