The factors of 129 are 1, 3, 43, 129
The HCF of 723,129 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 723,129
3 | 723, 129 |
241, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 723
:1,3,241,723
Now, list down the factors of 129
:1,3,43,129
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 723,129 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 723,129 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 230656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/230656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 723/256,129/901 is 3/230656
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 256,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,901) = ( 256 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(256,901) = 230656 / 1
LCM(256,901) = 230656
