Now, list down the factors of 160
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Now, list down the factors of 709
:1,709
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 160,709 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 160,709 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,996
3 | 87, 996 |
29, 332 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 332 = 28884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 160/87,709/996 is 1/28884
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 87,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,996) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,996) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,996) = ( 87 × 996 ) / 3
LCM(87,996) = 86652 / 3
LCM(87,996) = 28884
