The factors of 183 are 1, 3, 61, 183
The HCF of 861,183 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 861,183
3 | 861, 183 |
287, 61 |
∴ 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 183
:1,3,61,183
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 861,183 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 861,183 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 838,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250562
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/250562
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/838,183/299 is 3/250562
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 838,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(838,299) = ( 838 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(838,299) = 250562 / 1
LCM(838,299) = 250562
