3 | 150, 915 |
5 | 50, 305 |
10, 61 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15
Now, list down the factors of 150
:1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,150
Now, list down the factors of 915
:1,3,5,15,61,183,305,915
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 150,915 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 150,915 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,950
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/139650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 150/147,915/950 is 15/139650
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 147,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,950) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,950) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(147,950) = ( 147 × 950 ) / 1
LCM(147,950) = 139650 / 1
LCM(147,950) = 139650
