The HCF of 226,512 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 226,512
2 | 226, 512 |
113, 256 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 226
:1,2,113,226
Now, list down the factors of 512
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 226,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,512 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,690
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/40710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/59,512/690 is 2/40710
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 59,690 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,690) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,690) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,690) = ( 59 × 690 ) / 1
LCM(59,690) = 40710 / 1
LCM(59,690) = 40710
