Lets's calculate GCF of 165,215
5 | 165, 215 |
33, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 165
:1,3,5,11,15,33,55,165
Now, list down the factors of 215
:1,5,43,215
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 165,215 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 165,215 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,680
2 | 16, 680 |
2 | 8, 340 |
2 | 4, 170 |
2, 85 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 85 = 1360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/16,215/680 is 5/1360
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 16,680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,680) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,680) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(16,680) = ( 16 × 680 ) / 8
LCM(16,680) = 10880 / 8
LCM(16,680) = 1360
