:1,2,4,8,16,109,218,436,872,1744
Now, list down the factors of 5000
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,50,100,125,200,250,500,625,1000,1250,2500,5000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1744,5000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1744,5000 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,254
2 | 394, 254 |
197, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 127 = 50038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/50038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1744/394,5000/254 is 8/50038
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 394,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,254) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,254) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,254) = ( 394 × 254 ) / 2
LCM(394,254) = 100076 / 2
LCM(394,254) = 50038
