The factors of 237 are 1, 3, 79, 237
The HCF of 951,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 951,237
3 | 951, 237 |
317, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 951
:1,3,317,951
Now, list down the factors of 237
:1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 951,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 951,237 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,598
2 | 50, 598 |
25, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 299 = 14950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/14950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 951/50,237/598 is 3/14950
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 50,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,598) = ( 50 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(50,598) = 29900 / 2
LCM(50,598) = 14950
