The factors of 254 are 1, 2, 127, 254
The HCF of 514,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 514,254
2 | 514, 254 |
257, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 514
:1,2,257,514
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 514,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 514,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 517,522
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 269874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/269874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/517,254/522 is 2/269874
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 517,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,522) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,522) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,522) = ( 517 × 522 ) / 1
LCM(517,522) = 269874 / 1
LCM(517,522) = 269874
