The factors of 533 are 1, 13, 41, 533
The factors of 246 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
The HCF of 533,246 is 41.
Lets's calculate GCF of 533,246
41 | 533, 246 |
13, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41
Now, list down the factors of 533
:1,13,41,533
Now, list down the factors of 246
:1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 533,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 533,246 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 535310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/535310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 533/538,246/995 is 41/535310
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 538,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,995) = ( 538 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(538,995) = 535310 / 1
LCM(538,995) = 535310
