The HCF of 749,308 is 7.
Lets's calculate GCF of 749,308
7 | 749, 308 |
107, 44 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Now, list down the factors of 749
:1,7,107,749
Now, list down the factors of 308
:1,2,4,7,11,14,22,28,44,77,154,308
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 749,308 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 749,308 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/9555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/15,308/637 is 7/9555
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 15,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,637) = ( 15 × 637 ) / 1
LCM(15,637) = 9555 / 1
LCM(15,637) = 9555
