To find the highest common factor of 217,527, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 217 are 1, 7, 31, 217
The factors of 527 are 1, 17, 31, 527
The HCF of 217,527 is 31.
Lets's calculate GCF of 217,527
31 | 217, 527 |
7, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 217
:1,7,31,217
Now, list down the factors of 527
:1,17,31,527
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 217,527 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 217,527 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/30078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 217/54,527/557 is 31/30078
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 54,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(54,557) = ( 54 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(54,557) = 30078 / 1
LCM(54,557) = 30078
