The factors of 206 are 1, 2, 103, 206
The HCF of 878,206 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 878,206
2 | 878, 206 |
439, 103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 878
:1,2,439,878
Now, list down the factors of 206
:1,2,103,206
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 878,206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 878,206 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,106
53 | 53, 106 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 53 x 1 x 2 = 106
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/106
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/53,206/106 is 2/106
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 53,106 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,106) = 53
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,106) x common factors =53 x 1 = 53
LCM(53,106) = ( 53 × 106 ) / 53
LCM(53,106) = 5618 / 53
LCM(53,106) = 106
