The factors of 382 are 1, 2, 191, 382
The HCF of 740,382 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 740,382
2 | 740, 382 |
370, 191 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 740
:1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Now, list down the factors of 382
:1,2,191,382
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 740,382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,382 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,954
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/77,382/954 is 2/73458
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 77,954 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,954) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,954) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,954) = ( 77 × 954 ) / 1
LCM(77,954) = 73458 / 1
LCM(77,954) = 73458
