The factors of 452 are 1, 2, 4, 113, 226, 452
The HCF of 34,20,452 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 34,20,452
2 | 34, 20, 452 |
17, 10, 226 |
∴ 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 20
:1,2,4,5,10,20
Now, list down the factors of 452
:1,2,4,113,226,452
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,20,452 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,20,452 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,21,11
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/74,20/21,452/11 is 2/17094
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 74,21,11 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,21,11) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,21,11) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,21,11) = ( 74 × 21 × 11 ) / 1
LCM(74,21,11) = 17094 / 1
LCM(74,21,11) = 17094
