The factors of 222 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 37, 74, 111, 222
The HCF of 370,222 is 74.
Lets's calculate GCF of 370,222
2 | 370, 222 |
37 | 185, 111 |
5, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 37 = 74
Now, list down the factors of 370
:1,2,5,10,37,74,185,370
Now, list down the factors of 222
:1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 370,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 370,222 is 74.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,2997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74925
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 74/74925
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 370/25,222/2997 is 74/74925
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 25,2997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,2997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,2997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,2997) = ( 25 × 2997 ) / 1
LCM(25,2997) = 74925 / 1
LCM(25,2997) = 74925
