The factors of 802 are 1, 2, 401, 802
The factors of 846 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 47, 94, 141, 282, 423, 846
The HCF of 802,846 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 802,846
2 | 802, 846 |
401, 423 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 802
:1,2,401,802
Now, list down the factors of 846
:1,2,3,6,9,18,47,94,141,282,423,846
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 802,846 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 802,846 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 802/71,846/538 is 2/38198
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 71,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,538) = ( 71 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(71,538) = 38198 / 1
LCM(71,538) = 38198
