The HCF of 245,715 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 245,715
5 | 245, 715 |
49, 143 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 245
:1,5,7,35,49,245
Now, list down the factors of 715
:1,5,11,13,55,65,143,715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,715 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 140,151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/21140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/140,715/151 is 5/21140
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 140,151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(140,151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(140,151) = ( 140 × 151 ) / 1
LCM(140,151) = 21140 / 1
LCM(140,151) = 21140
