The factors of 201 are 1, 3, 67, 201
The HCF of 750,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 750,201
3 | 750, 201 |
250, 67 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 750
:1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,125,150,250,375,750
Now, list down the factors of 201
:1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 750,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 750,201 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,972
2 | 974, 972 |
487, 486 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 486 = 473364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/473364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 750/974,201/972 is 3/473364
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 974,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,972) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,972) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,972) = ( 974 × 972 ) / 2
LCM(974,972) = 946728 / 2
LCM(974,972) = 473364
