The HCF of 256,116 is 4.
Lets's calculate GCF of 256,116
2 | 256, 116 |
2 | 128, 58 |
64, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 256
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
Now, list down the factors of 116
:1,2,4,29,58,116
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 256,116 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 256,116 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,453
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37599
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/37599
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 256/83,116/453 is 4/37599
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 83,453 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,453) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,453) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,453) = ( 83 × 453 ) / 1
LCM(83,453) = 37599 / 1
LCM(83,453) = 37599
