The factors of 231 are 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
The factors of 737 are 1, 11, 67, 737
The HCF of 231,737 is 11.
Lets's calculate GCF of 231,737
11 | 231, 737 |
21, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Now, list down the factors of 737
:1,11,67,737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,737 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 463,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264373
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/264373
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/463,737/571 is 11/264373
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 463,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(463,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(463,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(463,571) = ( 463 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(463,571) = 264373 / 1
LCM(463,571) = 264373
