To find the highest common factor of 51,45, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 51 are 1, 3, 17, 51
The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
The HCF of 51,45 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,45
3 | 51, 45 |
17, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 51
:1,3,17,51
Now, list down the factors of 45
:1,3,5,9,15,45
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,45 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,45 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 866,1096
2 | 866, 1096 |
433, 548 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 433 x 548 = 474568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/474568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/866,45/1096 is 3/474568
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 866,1096 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(866,1096) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(866,1096) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(866,1096) = ( 866 × 1096 ) / 2
LCM(866,1096) = 949136 / 2
LCM(866,1096) = 474568
