The HCF of 404,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 404,542
2 | 404, 542 |
202, 271 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 404
:1,2,4,101,202,404
Now, list down the factors of 542
:1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 373,645
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240585
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240585
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/373,542/645 is 2/240585
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 373,645 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(373,645) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(373,645) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(373,645) = ( 373 × 645 ) / 1
LCM(373,645) = 240585 / 1
LCM(373,645) = 240585
