The factors of 149 are 1, 149
The factors of 500 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500
The HCF of 149,500 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 149,500
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 149
:1,149
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 149,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 149,500 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 350,308
2 | 350, 308 |
7 | 175, 154 |
25, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 25 x 22 = 7700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 149/350,500/308 is 1/7700
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 350,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(350,308) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(350,308) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(350,308) = ( 350 × 308 ) / 14
LCM(350,308) = 107800 / 14
LCM(350,308) = 7700
