Lets's calculate GCF of 170,290
2 | 170, 290 |
5 | 85, 145 |
17, 29 |
∴ 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 290
:1,2,5,10,29,58,145,290
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 170,290 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 170,290 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,427
7 | 98, 427 |
14, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 14 x 61 = 5978
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/5978
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 170/98,290/427 is 10/5978
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 98,427 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,427) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,427) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(98,427) = ( 98 × 427 ) / 7
LCM(98,427) = 41846 / 7
LCM(98,427) = 5978
