The factors of 500 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500
The factors of 731 are 1, 17, 43, 731
The HCF of 500,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 500,731
∴ 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 731
:1,17,43,731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 500,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 500,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 932,853
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 794996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/794996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/932,731/853 is 1/794996
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 932,853 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(932,853) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(932,853) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(932,853) = ( 932 × 853 ) / 1
LCM(932,853) = 794996 / 1
LCM(932,853) = 794996
