The factors of 174 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 29, 58, 87, 174
The HCF of 633,174 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 633,174
3 | 633, 174 |
211, 58 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 633
:1,3,211,633
Now, list down the factors of 174
:1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 633,174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 633,174 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,849
3 | 42, 849 |
14, 283 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 14 x 283 = 11886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 633/42,174/849 is 3/11886
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 42,849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,849) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,849) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(42,849) = ( 42 × 849 ) / 3
LCM(42,849) = 35658 / 3
LCM(42,849) = 11886
