The factors of 258 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258
The HCF of 548,258 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 548,258
2 | 548, 258 |
274, 129 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 548
:1,2,4,137,274,548
Now, list down the factors of 258
:1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 548,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 548,258 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,343
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17493
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/17493
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 548/51,258/343 is 2/17493
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 51,343 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,343) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,343) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,343) = ( 51 × 343 ) / 1
LCM(51,343) = 17493 / 1
LCM(51,343) = 17493
