:1,521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 155,521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,521 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,260
2 | 88, 260 |
2 | 44, 130 |
22, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 22 x 65 = 5720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/88,521/260 is 1/5720
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 88,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,260) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,260) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(88,260) = ( 88 × 260 ) / 4
LCM(88,260) = 22880 / 4
LCM(88,260) = 5720
