The factors of 959 are 1, 7, 137, 959
The HCF of 245,959 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 245,959
7 | 245, 959 |
35, 137 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 245
:1,5,7,35,49,245
Now, list down the factors of 959
:1,7,137,959
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,959 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/21164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/37,959/572 is 7/21164
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 37,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,572) = ( 37 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(37,572) = 21164 / 1
LCM(37,572) = 21164
