The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
The factors of 398 are 1, 2, 199, 398
The HCF of 100,398 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 100,398
2 | 100, 398 |
50, 199 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Now, list down the factors of 398
:1,2,199,398
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,398 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,398 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,119
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/64260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/540,398/119 is 2/64260
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 540,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,119) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,119) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(540,119) = ( 540 × 119 ) / 1
LCM(540,119) = 64260 / 1
LCM(540,119) = 64260
