To find the highest common factor of 861,669, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 861 are 1, 3, 7, 21, 41, 123, 287, 861
The factors of 669 are 1, 3, 223, 669
The HCF of 861,669 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 861,669
3 | 861, 669 |
287, 223 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 861
:1,3,7,21,41,123,287,861
Now, list down the factors of 669
:1,3,223,669
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 861,669 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 861,669 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,428
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/21828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/51,669/428 is 3/21828
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 51,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,428) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,428) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,428) = ( 51 × 428 ) / 1
LCM(51,428) = 21828 / 1
LCM(51,428) = 21828
