The factors of 482 are 1, 2, 241, 482
The HCF of 762,482 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 762,482
2 | 762, 482 |
381, 241 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 762
:1,2,3,6,127,254,381,762
Now, list down the factors of 482
:1,2,241,482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 762,482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 762,482 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,606
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 762/73,482/606 is 2/44238
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 73,606 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,606) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,606) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,606) = ( 73 × 606 ) / 1
LCM(73,606) = 44238 / 1
LCM(73,606) = 44238
