The factors of 282 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 47, 94, 141, 282
The HCF of 46,282 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,282
2 | 46, 282 |
23, 141 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 46
:1,2,23,46
Now, list down the factors of 282
:1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,282 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,282 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/231360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/241,282/960 is 2/231360
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 241,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,960) = ( 241 × 960 ) / 1
LCM(241,960) = 231360 / 1
LCM(241,960) = 231360
