The HCF of 222,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 222,172
2 | 222, 172 |
111, 86 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 222
:1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 222,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 222,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,8302
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 440006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/440006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/53,172/8302 is 2/440006
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 53,8302 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,8302) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,8302) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,8302) = ( 53 × 8302 ) / 1
LCM(53,8302) = 440006 / 1
LCM(53,8302) = 440006
