The factors of 207 are 1, 3, 9, 23, 69, 207
The HCF of 355,207 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 355,207
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 355
:1,5,71,355
Now, list down the factors of 207
:1,3,9,23,69,207
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 355,207 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 355,207 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,120
2 | 32, 120 |
2 | 16, 60 |
2 | 8, 30 |
4, 15 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 15 = 480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 355/32,207/120 is 1/480
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 32,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,120) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,120) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(32,120) = ( 32 × 120 ) / 8
LCM(32,120) = 3840 / 8
LCM(32,120) = 480
