The HCF of 174,970 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 174,970
2 | 174, 970 |
87, 485 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 174
:1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Now, list down the factors of 970
:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 174,970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 174,970 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 174/88,970/377 is 2/33176
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 88,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,377) = ( 88 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(88,377) = 33176 / 1
LCM(88,377) = 33176
