The factors of 843 are 1, 3, 281, 843
The HCF of 213,843 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 213,843
3 | 213, 843 |
71, 281 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 213
:1,3,71,213
Now, list down the factors of 843
:1,3,281,843
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 213,843 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 213,843 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/44634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 213/258,843/173 is 3/44634
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 258,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(258,173) = ( 258 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(258,173) = 44634 / 1
LCM(258,173) = 44634
