The HCF of 237,208 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 237,208
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 237
:1,3,79,237
Now, list down the factors of 208
:1,2,4,8,13,16,26,52,104,208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 237,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 237,208 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 211,952
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/211,208/952 is 1/200872
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 211,952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(211,952) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(211,952) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(211,952) = ( 211 × 952 ) / 1
LCM(211,952) = 200872 / 1
LCM(211,952) = 200872
