The factors of 22 are 1, 2, 11, 22
The HCF of 55,22 is 11.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,22
11 | 55, 22 |
5, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 55
:1,5,11,55
Now, list down the factors of 22
:1,2,11,22
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,22 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,22 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 836,5939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4965004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/4965004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/836,22/5939 is 11/4965004
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 836,5939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,5939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,5939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(836,5939) = ( 836 × 5939 ) / 1
LCM(836,5939) = 4965004 / 1
LCM(836,5939) = 4965004
