The HCF of 886,212 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 886,212
2 | 886, 212 |
443, 106 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 886
:1,2,443,886
Now, list down the factors of 212
:1,2,4,53,106,212
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 886,212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 886,212 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 415,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 361880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/361880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 886/415,212/872 is 2/361880
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 415,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(415,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(415,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(415,872) = ( 415 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(415,872) = 361880 / 1
LCM(415,872) = 361880
