The factors of 169 are 1, 13, 169
The HCF of 637,169 is 13.
Lets's calculate GCF of 637,169
13 | 637, 169 |
49, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 637
:1,7,13,49,91,637
Now, list down the factors of 169
:1,13,169
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 637,169 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 637,169 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,344
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21672
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/21672
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/63,169/344 is 13/21672
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 63,344 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,344) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,344) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,344) = ( 63 × 344 ) / 1
LCM(63,344) = 21672 / 1
LCM(63,344) = 21672
