The factors of 115 are 1, 5, 23, 115
The HCF of 670,115 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 670,115
5 | 670, 115 |
134, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 670
:1,2,5,10,67,134,335,670
Now, list down the factors of 115
:1,5,23,115
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 670,115 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 670,115 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,1584
2 | 72, 1584 |
2 | 36, 792 |
2 | 18, 396 |
3 | 9, 198 |
3 | 3, 66 |
1, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 22 = 1584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 670/72,115/1584 is 5/1584
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 72,1584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,1584) = 72
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,1584) x common factors =72 x 1 = 72
LCM(72,1584) = ( 72 × 1584 ) / 72
LCM(72,1584) = 114048 / 72
LCM(72,1584) = 1584
