The HCF of 4100,2042 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4100,2042
2 | 4100, 2042 |
2050, 1021 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 4100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,41,50,82,100,164,205,410,820,1025,2050,4100
Now, list down the factors of 2042
:1,2,1021,2042
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4100,2042 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4100,2042 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 370,902
2 | 370, 902 |
185, 451 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 185 x 451 = 166870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/166870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4100/370,2042/902 is 2/166870
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 370,902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(370,902) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(370,902) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(370,902) = ( 370 × 902 ) / 2
LCM(370,902) = 333740 / 2
LCM(370,902) = 166870
