The HCF of 220,1873 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 220,1873
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 220
:1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Now, list down the factors of 1873
:1,1873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 220,1873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 220,1873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 959,604
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 579236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/579236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/959,1873/604 is 1/579236
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 959,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,604) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,604) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,604) = ( 959 × 604 ) / 1
LCM(959,604) = 579236 / 1
LCM(959,604) = 579236
