The factors of 538 are 1, 2, 269, 538
The HCF of 604,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 604,538
2 | 604, 538 |
302, 269 |
∴ 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 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 604,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 604,538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,394
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 604/51,538/394 is 2/20094
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 51,394 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,394) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,394) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,394) = ( 51 × 394 ) / 1
LCM(51,394) = 20094 / 1
LCM(51,394) = 20094
