The factors of 589 are 1, 19, 31, 589
The HCF of 247,589 is 19.
Lets's calculate GCF of 247,589
19 | 247, 589 |
13, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Now, list down the factors of 247
:1,13,19,247
Now, list down the factors of 589
:1,19,31,589
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 247,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 247,589 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/6012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/36,589/167 is 19/6012
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 36,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,167) = ( 36 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(36,167) = 6012 / 1
LCM(36,167) = 6012
