The HCF of 400,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 400,971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 400
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,200,400
Now, list down the factors of 971
:1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 400,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 400,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,202
2 | 26, 202 |
13, 101 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 101 = 2626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/26,971/202 is 1/2626
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 26,202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,202) = ( 26 × 202 ) / 2
LCM(26,202) = 5252 / 2
LCM(26,202) = 2626
