The HCF of 183,552 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 183,552
3 | 183, 552 |
61, 184 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 183
:1,3,61,183
Now, list down the factors of 552
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,23,24,46,69,92,138,184,276,552
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,552 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,552 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,700
2 | 28, 700 |
2 | 14, 350 |
7 | 7, 175 |
1, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 25 = 700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/28,552/700 is 3/700
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 28,700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,700) = 28
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,700) x common factors =28 x 1 = 28
LCM(28,700) = ( 28 × 700 ) / 28
LCM(28,700) = 19600 / 28
LCM(28,700) = 700
