The HCF of 182,946 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 182,946
2 | 182, 946 |
91, 473 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 182
:1,2,7,13,14,26,91,182
Now, list down the factors of 946
:1,2,11,22,43,86,473,946
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 182,946 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 182,946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/87,946/494 is 2/42978
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 87,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,494) = ( 87 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(87,494) = 42978 / 1
LCM(87,494) = 42978
