The HCF of 427,976 is 61.
Lets's calculate GCF of 427,976
61 | 427, 976 |
7, 16 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 61 = 61
Now, list down the factors of 427
:1,7,61,427
Now, list down the factors of 976
:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 427,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 427,976 is 61.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,113
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 61/7684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 427/68,976/113 is 61/7684
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 68,113 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,113) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,113) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,113) = ( 68 × 113 ) / 1
LCM(68,113) = 7684 / 1
LCM(68,113) = 7684
