The HCF of 604,956 is 4.
Lets's calculate GCF of 604,956
2 | 604, 956 |
2 | 302, 478 |
151, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 604
:1,2,4,151,302,604
Now, list down the factors of 956
:1,2,4,239,478,956
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 604,956 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 604,956 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 604/27,956/142 is 4/3834
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 27,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,142) = ( 27 × 142 ) / 1
LCM(27,142) = 3834 / 1
LCM(27,142) = 3834
