The HCF of 604,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 604,958
2 | 604, 958 |
302, 479 |
∴ 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 958
:1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 604,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 604,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,4581
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/183240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 604/40,958/4581 is 2/183240
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 40,4581 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,4581) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,4581) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,4581) = ( 40 × 4581 ) / 1
LCM(40,4581) = 183240 / 1
LCM(40,4581) = 183240
