The HCF of 500,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 500,346
2 | 500, 346 |
250, 173 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Now, list down the factors of 346
:1,2,173,346
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 500,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 500,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 620,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/91140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/620,346/147 is 2/91140
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 620,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(620,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(620,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(620,147) = ( 620 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(620,147) = 91140 / 1
LCM(620,147) = 91140
