Lets's calculate GCF of 170,150
2 | 170, 150 |
5 | 85, 75 |
17, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10
Now, list down the factors of 170
:1,2,5,10,17,34,85,170
Now, list down the factors of 150
:1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,150
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 170,150 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 170,150 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/63986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/214,150/299 is 10/63986
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 214,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,299) = ( 214 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(214,299) = 63986 / 1
LCM(214,299) = 63986
