The factors of 786 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 131, 262, 393, 786
The HCF of 524,786 is 262.
Lets's calculate GCF of 524,786
2 | 524, 786 |
131 | 262, 393 |
2, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 131 = 262
Now, list down the factors of 524
:1,2,4,131,262,524
Now, list down the factors of 786
:1,2,3,6,131,262,393,786
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,786 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,786 is 262.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,573
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 318588
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 262/318588
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/556,786/573 is 262/318588
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 556,573 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,573) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,573) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,573) = ( 556 × 573 ) / 1
LCM(556,573) = 318588 / 1
LCM(556,573) = 318588
