To find the highest common factor of 891,908, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 891 are 1, 3, 9, 11, 27, 33, 81, 99, 297, 891
The factors of 908 are 1, 2, 4, 227, 454, 908
The HCF of 891,908 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 891,908
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 891
:1,3,9,11,27,33,81,99,297,891
Now, list down the factors of 908
:1,2,4,227,454,908
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 891,908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 891,908 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7257
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7257
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/41,908/177 is 1/7257
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 41,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,177) = ( 41 × 177 ) / 1
LCM(41,177) = 7257 / 1
LCM(41,177) = 7257
