The factors of 150 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150
The factors of 417 are 1, 3, 139, 417
The HCF of 150,417 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 150,417
3 | 150, 417 |
50, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
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 417
:1,3,139,417
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 150,417 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 150,417 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/39750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 150/159,417/250 is 3/39750
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 159,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,250) = ( 159 × 250 ) / 1
LCM(159,250) = 39750 / 1
LCM(159,250) = 39750
