The factors of 174 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
The HCF of 602,174 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 602,174
2 | 602, 174 |
301, 87 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 602
:1,2,7,14,43,86,301,602
Now, list down the factors of 174
:1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 602,174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 602,174 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 602/14,174/361 is 2/5054
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 14,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,361) = ( 14 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(14,361) = 5054 / 1
LCM(14,361) = 5054
