The HCF of 724,512 is 4.
Lets's calculate GCF of 724,512
2 | 724, 512 |
2 | 362, 256 |
181, 128 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 724
:1,2,4,181,362,724
Now, list down the factors of 512
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 724,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 724,512 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,222
2 | 84, 222 |
3 | 42, 111 |
14, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 14 x 37 = 3108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 724/84,512/222 is 4/3108
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 84,222 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,222) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,222) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(84,222) = ( 84 × 222 ) / 6
LCM(84,222) = 18648 / 6
LCM(84,222) = 3108
