The HCF of 949,221 is 13.
Lets's calculate GCF of 949,221
13 | 949, 221 |
73, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 949
:1,13,73,949
Now, list down the factors of 221
:1,13,17,221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 949,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 949,221 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/279265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/505,221/553 is 13/279265
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 505,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(505,553) = ( 505 × 553 ) / 1
LCM(505,553) = 279265 / 1
LCM(505,553) = 279265
