To find the highest common factor of 48,76, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
The factors of 76 are 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
The HCF of 48,76 is 4.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,76
2 | 48, 76 |
2 | 24, 38 |
12, 19 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 48
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 76
:1,2,4,19,38,76
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,76 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,76 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 464,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/85840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/464,76/185 is 4/85840
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 464,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(464,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(464,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(464,185) = ( 464 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(464,185) = 85840 / 1
LCM(464,185) = 85840
