The factors of 478 are 1, 2, 239, 478
The HCF of 850,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 850,478
2 | 850, 478 |
425, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 850
:1,2,5,10,17,25,34,50,85,170,425,850
Now, list down the factors of 478
:1,2,239,478
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 850,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 850,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6371
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6371
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 850/23,478/277 is 2/6371
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 23,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,277) = ( 23 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(23,277) = 6371 / 1
LCM(23,277) = 6371
