The factors of 237 are 1, 3, 79, 237
The HCF of 549,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 549,237
3 | 549, 237 |
183, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 549
:1,3,9,61,183,549
Now, list down the factors of 237
:1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 549,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 549,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 379,153
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57987
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/57987
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/379,237/153 is 3/57987
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 379,153 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(379,153) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(379,153) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(379,153) = ( 379 × 153 ) / 1
LCM(379,153) = 57987 / 1
LCM(379,153) = 57987
