The HCF of 169,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate GCF of 169,143
13 | 169, 143 |
13, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 169
:1,13,169
Now, list down the factors of 143
:1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 169,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 169,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/64529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 169/173,143/373 is 13/64529
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 173,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,373) = ( 173 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(173,373) = 64529 / 1
LCM(173,373) = 64529
