The factors of 940 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
The HCF of 310,940 is 10.
Lets's calculate GCF of 310,940
2 | 310, 940 |
5 | 155, 470 |
31, 94 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10
Now, list down the factors of 310
:1,2,5,10,31,62,155,310
Now, list down the factors of 940
:1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 310,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 310,940 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,327
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/5559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 310/17,940/327 is 10/5559
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 17,327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,327) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,327) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,327) = ( 17 × 327 ) / 1
LCM(17,327) = 5559 / 1
LCM(17,327) = 5559
