The factors of 255 are 1, 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, 85, 255
The HCF of 470,255 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 470,255
5 | 470, 255 |
94, 51 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 470
:1,2,5,10,47,94,235,470
Now, list down the factors of 255
:1,3,5,15,17,51,85,255
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 470,255 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 470,255 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/7018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/29,255/242 is 5/7018
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 29,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,242) = ( 29 × 242 ) / 1
LCM(29,242) = 7018 / 1
LCM(29,242) = 7018
