Therefore, the GCF of 14/504,72/593 is 2/298872.
To find the highest common factor of 14,72, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14
The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
The HCF of 14,72 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,72
2 | 14, 72 |
7, 36 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 14
:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,72 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 504,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/298872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/504,72/593 is 2/298872
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 504,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(504,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(504,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(504,593) = ( 504 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(504,593) = 298872 / 1
LCM(504,593) = 298872
