The factors of 951 are 1, 3, 317, 951
The HCF of 156,951 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 156,951
3 | 156, 951 |
52, 317 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 156
:1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Now, list down the factors of 951
:1,3,317,951
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 156,951 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 156,951 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,449
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7633
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7633
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/17,951/449 is 3/7633
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 17,449 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,449) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,449) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,449) = ( 17 × 449 ) / 1
LCM(17,449) = 7633 / 1
LCM(17,449) = 7633
