The HCF of 539,208 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 539,208
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 539
:1,7,11,49,77,539
Now, list down the factors of 208
:1,2,4,8,13,16,26,52,104,208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,208 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,9955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 706805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/706805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/71,208/9955 is 1/706805
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 71,9955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,9955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,9955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,9955) = ( 71 × 9955 ) / 1
LCM(71,9955) = 706805 / 1
LCM(71,9955) = 706805
