The HCF of 772,530 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 772,530
2 | 772, 530 |
386, 265 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 772
:1,2,4,193,386,772
Now, list down the factors of 530
:1,2,5,10,53,106,265,530
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 772,530 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 772,530 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 772/236,530/101 is 2/23836
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 236,101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,101) = ( 236 × 101 ) / 1
LCM(236,101) = 23836 / 1
LCM(236,101) = 23836
