The HCF of 4197,1203 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4197,1203
3 | 4197, 1203 |
1399, 401 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 4197
:1,3,1399,4197
Now, list down the factors of 1203
:1,3,401,1203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4197,1203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4197,1203 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,504
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/127512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4197/253,1203/504 is 3/127512
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 253,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,504) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,504) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,504) = ( 253 × 504 ) / 1
LCM(253,504) = 127512 / 1
LCM(253,504) = 127512
