The HCF of 205,287 is 41.
Lets's calculate GCF of 205,287
41 | 205, 287 |
5, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41
Now, list down the factors of 205
:1,5,41,205
Now, list down the factors of 287
:1,7,41,287
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 205,287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 205,287 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,270
2 | 48, 270 |
3 | 24, 135 |
8, 45 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 45 = 2160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/2160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 205/48,287/270 is 41/2160
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 48,270 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,270) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,270) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(48,270) = ( 48 × 270 ) / 6
LCM(48,270) = 12960 / 6
LCM(48,270) = 2160
