The factors of 256 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
The HCF of 698,256 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 698,256
2 | 698, 256 |
349, 128 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 698
:1,2,349,698
Now, list down the factors of 256
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 698,256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 698,256 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,280
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 698/51,256/280 is 2/14280
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 51,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,280) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,280) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,280) = ( 51 × 280 ) / 1
LCM(51,280) = 14280 / 1
LCM(51,280) = 14280
