Therefore, the GCF of 395/17,970/501 is 5/8517.
To find the highest common factor of 395,970, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 395 are 1, 5, 79, 395
The factors of 970 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 97, 194, 485, 970
The HCF of 395,970 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 395,970
5 | 395, 970 |
79, 194 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 395
:1,5,79,395
Now, list down the factors of 970
:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 395,970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 395,970 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,501
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8517
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/8517
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 395/17,970/501 is 5/8517
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 17,501 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,501) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,501) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,501) = ( 17 × 501 ) / 1
LCM(17,501) = 8517 / 1
LCM(17,501) = 8517
