The HCF of 385,132 is 11.
Lets's calculate GCF of 385,132
11 | 385, 132 |
35, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 385
:1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Now, list down the factors of 132
:1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,132 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/2871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/11,132/261 is 11/2871
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 11,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,261) = ( 11 × 261 ) / 1
LCM(11,261) = 2871 / 1
LCM(11,261) = 2871
