The factors of 236 are 1, 2, 4, 59, 118, 236
The HCF of 315,236 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 315,236
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 315
:1,3,5,7,9,15,21,35,45,63,105,315
Now, list down the factors of 236
:1,2,4,59,118,236
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 315,236 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 315,236 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 315/27,236/491 is 1/13257
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 27,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,491) = ( 27 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(27,491) = 13257 / 1
LCM(27,491) = 13257
