The factors of 478 are 1, 2, 239, 478
The HCF of 604,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 604,478
2 | 604, 478 |
302, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 604
:1,2,4,151,302,604
Now, list down the factors of 478
:1,2,239,478
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 604,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 604,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,838
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/25978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 604/31,478/838 is 2/25978
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 31,838 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,838) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,838) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,838) = ( 31 × 838 ) / 1
LCM(31,838) = 25978 / 1
LCM(31,838) = 25978
