The factors of 177 are 1, 3, 59, 177
The factors of 885 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 59, 177, 295, 885
The HCF of 177,885 is 177.
Lets's calculate GCF of 177,885
3 | 177, 885 |
59 | 59, 295 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 59 = 177
Now, list down the factors of 177
:1,3,59,177
Now, list down the factors of 885
:1,3,5,15,59,177,295,885
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 177,885 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 177,885 is 177.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,706
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 177/24710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/35,885/706 is 177/24710
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 35,706 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,706) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,706) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,706) = ( 35 × 706 ) / 1
LCM(35,706) = 24710 / 1
LCM(35,706) = 24710
