The factors of 229 are 1, 229
The HCF of 500,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 500,229
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
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 229
:1,229
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 500,229 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 500,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/64,229/459 is 1/29376
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 64,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,459) = ( 64 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(64,459) = 29376 / 1
LCM(64,459) = 29376
