The HCF of 669,231 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 669,231
3 | 669, 231 |
223, 77 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 669
:1,3,223,669
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 669,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 669,231 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 133,473
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/62909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 669/133,231/473 is 3/62909
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 133,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(133,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(133,473) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(133,473) = ( 133 × 473 ) / 1
LCM(133,473) = 62909 / 1
LCM(133,473) = 62909
