The factors of 631 are 1, 631
The factors of 724 are 1, 2, 4, 181, 362, 724
The HCF of 631,724 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 631,724
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 631
:1,631
Now, list down the factors of 724
:1,2,4,181,362,724
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 631,724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 631,724 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,735
3 | 72, 735 |
24, 245 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 24 x 245 = 17640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 631/72,724/735 is 1/17640
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 72,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,735) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,735) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(72,735) = ( 72 × 735 ) / 3
LCM(72,735) = 52920 / 3
LCM(72,735) = 17640
