To find the highest common factor of 50,174, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
The factors of 174 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
The HCF of 50,174 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 50,174
| 2 | 50, 174 |
| 25, 87 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 50
:1,2,5,10,25,50
Now, list down the factors of 174
:1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,174 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,199
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61889
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/61889
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/311,174/199 is 2/61889
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 311,199 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,199) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,199) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,199) = ( 311 × 199 ) / 1
LCM(311,199) = 61889 / 1
LCM(311,199) = 61889
