The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
The HCF of 82,18 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 82,18
2 | 82, 18 |
41, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 82
:1,2,41,82
Now, list down the factors of 18
:1,2,3,6,9,18
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 82,18 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 82,18 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 686,409
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/280574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/686,18/409 is 2/280574
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 686,409 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(686,409) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(686,409) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(686,409) = ( 686 × 409 ) / 1
LCM(686,409) = 280574 / 1
LCM(686,409) = 280574
