The HCF of 872,654 is 218.
Lets's calculate GCF of 872,654
2 | 872, 654 |
109 | 436, 327 |
4, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 109 = 218
Now, list down the factors of 872
:1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Now, list down the factors of 654
:1,2,3,6,109,218,327,654
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 872,654 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 872,654 is 218.
Lets's calculate LCM of 309,627
3 | 309, 627 |
103, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 103 x 209 = 64581
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 218/64581
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/309,654/627 is 218/64581
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 309,627 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,627) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,627) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(309,627) = ( 309 × 627 ) / 3
LCM(309,627) = 193743 / 3
LCM(309,627) = 64581
