To find the highest common factor of 231,332, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 231 are 1, 3, 7, 11, 21, 33, 77, 231
The factors of 332 are 1, 2, 4, 83, 166, 332
The HCF of 231,332 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 231,332
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Now, list down the factors of 332
:1,2,4,83,166,332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,332 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,4037
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/209924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/52,332/4037 is 1/209924
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 52,4037 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,4037) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,4037) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,4037) = ( 52 × 4037 ) / 1
LCM(52,4037) = 209924 / 1
LCM(52,4037) = 209924
