The HCF of 863,516 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 863,516
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 863
:1,863
Now, list down the factors of 516
:1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 863,516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 863,516 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,500
5 | 255, 500 |
51, 100 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 51 x 100 = 25500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 863/255,516/500 is 1/25500
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 255,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,500) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,500) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(255,500) = ( 255 × 500 ) / 5
LCM(255,500) = 127500 / 5
LCM(255,500) = 25500
