To find the highest common factor of 931,2303, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 931 are 1, 7, 19, 49, 133, 931
The factors of 2303 are 1, 7, 47, 49, 329, 2303
The HCF of 931,2303 is 49.
Lets's calculate GCF of 931,2303
| 7 | 931, 2303 |
| 7 | 133, 329 |
| 19, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 7 = 49
Now, list down the factors of 931
:1,7,19,49,133,931
Now, list down the factors of 2303
:1,7,47,49,329,2303
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 931,2303 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 931,2303 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/40098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 931/41,2303/978 is 49/40098
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 41,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,978) = ( 41 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(41,978) = 40098 / 1
LCM(41,978) = 40098
