The factors of 251 are 1, 251
The HCF of 187,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,251
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 187
:1,11,17,187
Now, list down the factors of 251
:1,251
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,7364
2 | 24, 7364 |
2 | 12, 3682 |
6, 1841 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 6 x 1841 = 44184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/44184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/24,251/7364 is 1/44184
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 24,7364 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,7364) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,7364) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(24,7364) = ( 24 × 7364 ) / 4
LCM(24,7364) = 176736 / 4
LCM(24,7364) = 44184
