To find the highest common factor of 830,838, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 830 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 83, 166, 415, 830
The factors of 838 are 1, 2, 419, 838
The HCF of 830,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 830,838
2 | 830, 838 |
415, 419 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 830
:1,2,5,10,83,166,415,830
Now, list down the factors of 838
:1,2,419,838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 830,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 830,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,200
2 | 12, 200 |
2 | 6, 100 |
3, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 50 = 600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 830/12,838/200 is 2/600
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 12,200 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,200) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,200) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(12,200) = ( 12 × 200 ) / 4
LCM(12,200) = 2400 / 4
LCM(12,200) = 600
