The HCF of 553,237 is 79.
Lets's calculate GCF of 553,237
79 | 553, 237 |
7, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 79 = 79
Now, list down the factors of 553
:1,7,79,553
Now, list down the factors of 237
:1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 553,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 553,237 is 79.
Lets's calculate LCM of 885,274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 79/242490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/885,237/274 is 79/242490
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 885,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(885,274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(885,274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(885,274) = ( 885 × 274 ) / 1
LCM(885,274) = 242490 / 1
LCM(885,274) = 242490
