The factors of 502 are 1, 2, 251, 502
The HCF of 871,502 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 871,502
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 871
:1,13,67,871
Now, list down the factors of 502
:1,2,251,502
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 871,502 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 871,502 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 988,100
2 | 988, 100 |
2 | 494, 50 |
247, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 247 x 25 = 24700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/988,502/100 is 1/24700
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 988,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(988,100) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(988,100) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(988,100) = ( 988 × 100 ) / 4
LCM(988,100) = 98800 / 4
LCM(988,100) = 24700
