The HCF of 502,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 502,254
2 | 502, 254 |
251, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 502
:1,2,251,502
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,165
3 | 252, 165 |
84, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 84 x 55 = 13860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/252,254/165 is 2/13860
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 252,165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,165) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,165) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(252,165) = ( 252 × 165 ) / 3
LCM(252,165) = 41580 / 3
LCM(252,165) = 13860
