Lets's calculate GCF of 172,406
2 | 172, 406 |
86, 203 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Now, list down the factors of 406
:1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 172,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 172,406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,7054
2 | 10, 7054 |
5, 3527 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 3527 = 35270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/35270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/10,406/7054 is 2/35270
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 10,7054 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,7054) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,7054) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,7054) = ( 10 × 7054 ) / 2
LCM(10,7054) = 70540 / 2
LCM(10,7054) = 35270
