The factors of 501 are 1, 3, 167, 501
The HCF of 840,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 840,501
3 | 840, 501 |
280, 167 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 840
:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12,14,15,20,21,24,28,30,35,40,42,56,60,70,84,105,120,140,168,210,280,420,840
Now, list down the factors of 501
:1,3,167,501
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 840,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 840,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,825
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/10725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/13,501/825 is 3/10725
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 13,825 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,825) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,825) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,825) = ( 13 × 825 ) / 1
LCM(13,825) = 10725 / 1
LCM(13,825) = 10725
