The factors of 847 are 1, 7, 11, 77, 121, 847
The HCF of 511,847 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 511,847
7 | 511, 847 |
73, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 511
:1,7,73,511
Now, list down the factors of 847
:1,7,11,77,121,847
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 511,847 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 511,847 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,597
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 520584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/520584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 511/872,847/597 is 7/520584
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 872,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,597) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(872,597) = ( 872 × 597 ) / 1
LCM(872,597) = 520584 / 1
LCM(872,597) = 520584
