The factors of 422 are 1, 2, 211, 422
The factors of 860 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 43, 86, 172, 215, 430, 860
The HCF of 422,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 422,860
2 | 422, 860 |
211, 430 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 422
:1,2,211,422
Now, list down the factors of 860
:1,2,4,5,10,20,43,86,172,215,430,860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 422,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 422,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 248,225
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/55800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/248,860/225 is 2/55800
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 248,225 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(248,225) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(248,225) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(248,225) = ( 248 × 225 ) / 1
LCM(248,225) = 55800 / 1
LCM(248,225) = 55800
