The factors of 86 are 1, 2, 43, 86
The factors of 76 are 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
The HCF of 86,76 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 86,76
2 | 86, 76 |
43, 38 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 86
:1,2,43,86
Now, list down the factors of 76
:1,2,4,19,38,76
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,76 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,76 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 321,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 232404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/232404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/321,76/724 is 2/232404
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 321,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(321,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(321,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(321,724) = ( 321 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(321,724) = 232404 / 1
LCM(321,724) = 232404
