The factors of 623 are 1, 7, 89, 623
The HCF of 196,623 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 196,623
7 | 196, 623 |
28, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 196
:1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Now, list down the factors of 623
:1,7,89,623
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,623 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,623 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/85624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/88,623/973 is 7/85624
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 88,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,973) = ( 88 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(88,973) = 85624 / 1
LCM(88,973) = 85624
