The factors of 249 are 1, 3, 83, 249
The HCF of 741,249 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 741,249
3 | 741, 249 |
247, 83 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 741
:1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Now, list down the factors of 249
:1,3,83,249
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 741,249 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 741,249 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/25899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 741/89,249/291 is 3/25899
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 89,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,291) = ( 89 × 291 ) / 1
LCM(89,291) = 25899 / 1
LCM(89,291) = 25899
