The HCF of 224,604 is 4.
Lets's calculate GCF of 224,604
2 | 224, 604 |
2 | 112, 302 |
56, 151 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 224
:1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,112,224
Now, list down the factors of 604
:1,2,4,151,302,604
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,604 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,604 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/22,604/397 is 4/8734
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 22,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,397) = ( 22 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(22,397) = 8734 / 1
LCM(22,397) = 8734
