Therefore, the GCF of 34/160,32/1731 is 2/276960.
To find the highest common factor of 34,32, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, 34
The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
The HCF of 34,32 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 34,32
2 | 34, 32 |
17, 16 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 34
:1,2,17,34
Now, list down the factors of 32
:1,2,4,8,16,32
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,32 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,32 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,1731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/276960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/160,32/1731 is 2/276960
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 160,1731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,1731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,1731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(160,1731) = ( 160 × 1731 ) / 1
LCM(160,1731) = 276960 / 1
LCM(160,1731) = 276960
