To find the highest common factor of 259,854, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 259 are 1, 7, 37, 259
The factors of 854 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 61, 122, 427, 854
The HCF of 259,854 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 259,854
7 | 259, 854 |
37, 122 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 259
:1,7,37,259
Now, list down the factors of 854
:1,2,7,14,61,122,427,854
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 259,854 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 259,854 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,4852
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/247452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 259/51,854/4852 is 7/247452
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 51,4852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,4852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,4852) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,4852) = ( 51 × 4852 ) / 1
LCM(51,4852) = 247452 / 1
LCM(51,4852) = 247452
