Therefore, the GCF of 254/68,226/859 is 2/58412.
To find the highest common factor of 254,226, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 254 are 1, 2, 127, 254
The factors of 226 are 1, 2, 113, 226
The HCF of 254,226 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 254,226
2 | 254, 226 |
127, 113 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Now, list down the factors of 226
:1,2,113,226
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,226 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,226 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/68,226/859 is 2/58412
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 68,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,859) = ( 68 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(68,859) = 58412 / 1
LCM(68,859) = 58412
