The HCF of 1487,2086 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1487,2086
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 1487
:1,1487
Now, list down the factors of 2086
:1,2,7,14,149,298,1043,2086
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1487,2086 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1487,2086 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160937
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/160937
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1487/277,2086/581 is 1/160937
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 277,581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,581) = ( 277 × 581 ) / 1
LCM(277,581) = 160937 / 1
LCM(277,581) = 160937
