To find the highest common factor of 207,201, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 207 are 1, 3, 9, 23, 69, 207
The factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201
The HCF of 207,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 207,201
3 | 207, 201 |
69, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 207
:1,3,9,23,69,207
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 207,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 207,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 130,172
2 | 130, 172 |
65, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 65 x 86 = 11180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/130,201/172 is 3/11180
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 130,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(130,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(130,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(130,172) = ( 130 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(130,172) = 22360 / 2
LCM(130,172) = 11180
