The HCF of 425,901 is 17.
Lets's calculate GCF of 425,901
17 | 425, 901 |
25, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 = 17
Now, list down the factors of 425
:1,5,17,25,85,425
Now, list down the factors of 901
:1,17,53,901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 425,901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 425,901 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 629,738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 464202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/464202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 425/629,901/738 is 17/464202
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 629,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(629,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(629,738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(629,738) = ( 629 × 738 ) / 1
LCM(629,738) = 464202 / 1
LCM(629,738) = 464202
