The factors of 602 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 43, 86, 301, 602
The HCF of 483,602 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 483,602
7 | 483, 602 |
69, 86 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 483
:1,3,7,21,23,69,161,483
Now, list down the factors of 602
:1,2,7,14,43,86,301,602
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 483,602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 483,602 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,160
5 | 115, 160 |
23, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 23 x 32 = 3680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/3680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 483/115,602/160 is 7/3680
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 115,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,160) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,160) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(115,160) = ( 115 × 160 ) / 5
LCM(115,160) = 18400 / 5
LCM(115,160) = 3680
