The HCF of 551,4042 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 551,4042
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 551
:1,19,29,551
Now, list down the factors of 4042
:1,2,43,47,86,94,2021,4042
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 551,4042 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 551,4042 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,850
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 376550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/376550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/443,4042/850 is 1/376550
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 443,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,850) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,850) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,850) = ( 443 × 850 ) / 1
LCM(443,850) = 376550 / 1
LCM(443,850) = 376550
