The HCF of 286,286 is 286.
Lets's calculate GCF of 286,286
2 | 286, 286 |
11 | 143, 143 |
13 | 13, 13 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 13 = 286
Now, list down the factors of 286
:1,2,11,13,22,26,143,286
Now, list down the factors of 286
:1,2,11,13,22,26,143,286
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 286,286 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 286,286 is 286.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 154338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 286/154338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/174,286/887 is 286/154338
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 174,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(174,887) = ( 174 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(174,887) = 154338 / 1
LCM(174,887) = 154338
