The HCF of 488,244 is 244.
Lets's calculate GCF of 488,244
2 | 488, 244 |
2 | 244, 122 |
61 | 61, 122 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 61 = 244
Now, list down the factors of 488
:1,2,4,8,61,122,244,488
Now, list down the factors of 244
:1,2,4,61,122,244
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 488,244 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 488,244 is 244.
Lets's calculate LCM of 405,715
5 | 405, 715 |
81, 143 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 81 x 143 = 57915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 244/57915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/405,244/715 is 244/57915
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 405,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(405,715) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(405,715) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(405,715) = ( 405 × 715 ) / 5
LCM(405,715) = 289575 / 5
LCM(405,715) = 57915
