The factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201
The HCF of 268,201 is 67.
Lets's calculate GCF of 268,201
67 | 268, 201 |
4, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 67 = 67
Now, list down the factors of 268
:1,2,4,67,134,268
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,201 is 67.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 67/92379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/159,201/581 is 67/92379
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 159,581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,581) = ( 159 × 581 ) / 1
LCM(159,581) = 92379 / 1
LCM(159,581) = 92379
