The HCF of 84,82,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 84,82,246
2 | 84, 82, 246 |
42, 41, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 84
:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Now, list down the factors of 82
:1,2,41,82
Now, list down the factors of 246
:1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 84,82,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,82,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,93,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 432822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/432822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/26,82/93,246/179 is 2/432822
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 26,93,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,93,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,93,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,93,179) = ( 26 × 93 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(26,93,179) = 432822 / 1
LCM(26,93,179) = 432822
