The HCF of 404,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 404,438
2 | 404, 438 |
202, 219 |
∴ 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 438
:1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 404,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 404,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,8151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 334191
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/334191
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 404/41,438/8151 is 2/334191
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 41,8151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,8151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,8151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,8151) = ( 41 × 8151 ) / 1
LCM(41,8151) = 334191 / 1
LCM(41,8151) = 334191
