The factors of 851 are 1, 23, 37, 851
The HCF of 391,851 is 23.
Lets's calculate GCF of 391,851
23 | 391, 851 |
17, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23
Now, list down the factors of 391
:1,17,23,391
Now, list down the factors of 851
:1,23,37,851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,851 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,200
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/35800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/179,851/200 is 23/35800
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 179,200 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,200) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,200) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,200) = ( 179 × 200 ) / 1
LCM(179,200) = 35800 / 1
LCM(179,200) = 35800
