The HCF of 254,2032 is 254.
Lets's calculate GCF of 254,2032
2 | 254, 2032 |
127 | 127, 1016 |
1, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 127 = 254
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Now, list down the factors of 2032
:1,2,4,8,16,127,254,508,1016,2032
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,2032 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,2032 is 254.
Lets's calculate LCM of 182,508
2 | 182, 508 |
91, 254 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 91 x 254 = 46228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 254/46228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/182,2032/508 is 254/46228
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 182,508 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,508) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(182,508) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(182,508) = ( 182 × 508 ) / 2
LCM(182,508) = 92456 / 2
LCM(182,508) = 46228
