The factors of 446 are 1, 2, 223, 446
The factors of 251 are 1, 251
The HCF of 446,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 446,251
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 446
:1,2,223,446
Now, list down the factors of 251
:1,251
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 446,251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 446,251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,502
2 | 64, 502 |
32, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 32 x 251 = 16064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 446/64,251/502 is 1/16064
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 64,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,502) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(64,502) = ( 64 × 502 ) / 2
LCM(64,502) = 32128 / 2
LCM(64,502) = 16064
