The HCF of 54,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 54,74
2 | 54, 74 |
27, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 54
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54
Now, list down the factors of 74
:1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,896
2 | 278, 896 |
139, 448 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 448 = 124544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/124544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/278,74/896 is 2/124544
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 278,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,896) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,896) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,896) = ( 278 × 896 ) / 2
LCM(278,896) = 249088 / 2
LCM(278,896) = 124544
