The HCF of 18,99 is 9.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,99
3 | 18, 99 |
3 | 6, 33 |
2, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Now, list down the factors of 18
:1,2,3,6,9,18
Now, list down the factors of 99
:1,3,9,11,33,99
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,99 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,99 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 949,5195
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4930055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/4930055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/949,99/5195 is 9/4930055
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 949,5195 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,5195) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,5195) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,5195) = ( 949 × 5195 ) / 1
LCM(949,5195) = 4930055 / 1
LCM(949,5195) = 4930055
