The HCF of 201,762 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 201,762
3 | 201, 762 |
67, 254 |
∴ 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 762
:1,2,3,6,127,254,381,762
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,762 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,762 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,695
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 292595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/292595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/421,762/695 is 3/292595
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 421,695 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,695) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,695) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,695) = ( 421 × 695 ) / 1
LCM(421,695) = 292595 / 1
LCM(421,695) = 292595
