The HCF of 201,5721 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 201,5721
3 | 201, 5721 |
67, 1907 |
∴ 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 5721
:1,3,1907,5721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,5721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,5721 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,654
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 471534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/471534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/721,5721/654 is 3/471534
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 721,654 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,654) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,654) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,654) = ( 721 × 654 ) / 1
LCM(721,654) = 471534 / 1
LCM(721,654) = 471534
