The HCF of 524,917 is 131.
Lets's calculate GCF of 524,917
131 | 524, 917 |
4, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 131 = 131
Now, list down the factors of 524
:1,2,4,131,262,524
Now, list down the factors of 917
:1,7,131,917
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,917 is 131.
Lets's calculate LCM of 481,395
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189995
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 131/189995
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/481,917/395 is 131/189995
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 481,395 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,395) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,395) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,395) = ( 481 × 395 ) / 1
LCM(481,395) = 189995 / 1
LCM(481,395) = 189995
