Lets's calculate GCF of 120,500
2 | 120, 500 |
2 | 60, 250 |
5 | 30, 125 |
6, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20
Now, list down the factors of 120
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,30,40,60,120
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,500 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 786,903
3 | 786, 903 |
262, 301 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 262 x 301 = 236586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/236586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/786,500/903 is 20/236586
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 786,903 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(786,903) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(786,903) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(786,903) = ( 786 × 903 ) / 3
LCM(786,903) = 709758 / 3
LCM(786,903) = 236586
