The HCF of 4142,2017 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4142,2017
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 4142
:1,2,19,38,109,218,2071,4142
Now, list down the factors of 2017
:1,2017
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4142,2017 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4142,2017 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,154
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4142/173,2017/154 is 1/26642
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 173,154 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,154) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,154) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,154) = ( 173 × 154 ) / 1
LCM(173,154) = 26642 / 1
LCM(173,154) = 26642
