The HCF of 391,437 is 23.
Lets's calculate GCF of 391,437
23 | 391, 437 |
17, 19 |
∴ 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 437
:1,19,23,437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,437 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,228
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/137028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/601,437/228 is 23/137028
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 601,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,228) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,228) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,228) = ( 601 × 228 ) / 1
LCM(601,228) = 137028 / 1
LCM(601,228) = 137028
