The factors of 241 are 1, 241
The factors of 862 are 1, 2, 431, 862
The HCF of 241,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 241,862
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 241
:1,241
Now, list down the factors of 862
:1,2,431,862
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 241,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 241,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,1026
2 | 20, 1026 |
10, 513 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 513 = 10260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 241/20,862/1026 is 1/10260
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 20,1026 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,1026) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,1026) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(20,1026) = ( 20 × 1026 ) / 2
LCM(20,1026) = 20520 / 2
LCM(20,1026) = 10260
