The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
The factors of 385 are 1, 5, 7, 11, 35, 55, 77, 385
The HCF of 100,385 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 100,385
5 | 100, 385 |
20, 77 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Now, list down the factors of 385
:1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,385 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,385 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,4032
2 | 72, 4032 |
2 | 36, 2016 |
2 | 18, 1008 |
3 | 9, 504 |
3 | 3, 168 |
1, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 56 = 4032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/4032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/72,385/4032 is 5/4032
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 72,4032 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,4032) = 72
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,4032) x common factors =72 x 1 = 72
LCM(72,4032) = ( 72 × 4032 ) / 72
LCM(72,4032) = 290304 / 72
LCM(72,4032) = 4032
