The factors of 940 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 47, 94, 188, 235, 470, 940
The factors of 205 are 1, 5, 41, 205
The HCF of 940,205 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 940,205
5 | 940, 205 |
188, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 940
:1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Now, list down the factors of 205
:1,5,41,205
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 940,205 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 940,205 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,667
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/8004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 940/12,205/667 is 5/8004
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 12,667 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,667) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,667) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,667) = ( 12 × 667 ) / 1
LCM(12,667) = 8004 / 1
LCM(12,667) = 8004
