Now, list down the factors of 131
:1,131
Now, list down the factors of 8600
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,43,50,86,100,172,200,215,344,430,860,1075,1720,2150,4300,8600
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,8600 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,8600 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 405,445
5 | 405, 445 |
81, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 81 x 89 = 36045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/405,8600/445 is 1/36045
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 405,445 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(405,445) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(405,445) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(405,445) = ( 405 × 445 ) / 5
LCM(405,445) = 180225 / 5
LCM(405,445) = 36045
