The factors of 291 are 1, 3, 97, 291
The HCF of 135,291 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 135,291
3 | 135, 291 |
45, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 135
:1,3,5,9,15,27,45,135
Now, list down the factors of 291
:1,3,97,291
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 135,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 135,291 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/71440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 135/304,291/235 is 3/71440
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 304,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(304,235) = ( 304 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(304,235) = 71440 / 1
LCM(304,235) = 71440
