The factors of 185 are 1, 5, 37, 185
The HCF of 407,185 is 37.
Lets's calculate GCF of 407,185
37 | 407, 185 |
11, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Now, list down the factors of 407
:1,11,37,407
Now, list down the factors of 185
:1,5,37,185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 407,185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 407,185 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,248
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/12152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 407/49,185/248 is 37/12152
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 49,248 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,248) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,248) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,248) = ( 49 × 248 ) / 1
LCM(49,248) = 12152 / 1
LCM(49,248) = 12152
