The factors of 424 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424
The factors of 848 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 106, 212, 424, 848
The HCF of 424,848 is 424.
Lets's calculate GCF of 424,848
2 | 424, 848 |
2 | 212, 424 |
2 | 106, 212 |
53 | 53, 106 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 53 = 424
Now, list down the factors of 424
:1,2,4,8,53,106,212,424
Now, list down the factors of 848
:1,2,4,8,16,53,106,212,424,848
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 424,848 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 424,848 is 424.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,467
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 424/34558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 424/74,848/467 is 424/34558
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 74,467 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,467) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,467) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,467) = ( 74 × 467 ) / 1
LCM(74,467) = 34558 / 1
LCM(74,467) = 34558
