The HCF of 524,326 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 524,326
2 | 524, 326 |
262, 163 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 524
:1,2,4,131,262,524
Now, list down the factors of 326
:1,2,163,326
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,326 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,326 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 717395
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/717395
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/721,326/995 is 2/717395
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 721,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,995) = ( 721 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(721,995) = 717395 / 1
LCM(721,995) = 717395
