The HCF of 201,609 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 201,609
3 | 201, 609 |
67, 203 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Now, list down the factors of 609
:1,3,7,21,29,87,203,609
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,609 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,339
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/40002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/118,609/339 is 3/40002
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 118,339 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,339) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,339) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(118,339) = ( 118 × 339 ) / 1
LCM(118,339) = 40002 / 1
LCM(118,339) = 40002
