The factors of 286 are 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 286
The HCF of 559,286 is 13.
Lets's calculate GCF of 559,286
13 | 559, 286 |
43, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 559
:1,13,43,559
Now, list down the factors of 286
:1,2,11,13,22,26,143,286
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 559,286 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 559,286 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,400
2 | 48, 400 |
2 | 24, 200 |
2 | 12, 100 |
2 | 6, 50 |
3, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 25 = 1200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/1200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 559/48,286/400 is 13/1200
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 48,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,400) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,400) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(48,400) = ( 48 × 400 ) / 16
LCM(48,400) = 19200 / 16
LCM(48,400) = 1200
