The factors of 215 are 1, 5, 43, 215
The HCF of 568,215 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 568,215
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 568
:1,2,4,8,71,142,284,568
Now, list down the factors of 215
:1,5,43,215
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 568,215 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 568,215 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,300
2 | 42, 300 |
3 | 21, 150 |
7, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 50 = 2100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 568/42,215/300 is 1/2100
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 42,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,300) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,300) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,300) = ( 42 × 300 ) / 6
LCM(42,300) = 12600 / 6
LCM(42,300) = 2100
