Lets's calculate GCF of 176,512
2 | 176, 512 |
2 | 88, 256 |
2 | 44, 128 |
2 | 22, 64 |
11, 32 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Now, list down the factors of 176
:1,2,4,8,11,16,22,44,88,176
Now, list down the factors of 512
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 176,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 176,512 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,160
2 | 62, 160 |
31, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 80 = 4960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/4960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/62,512/160 is 16/4960
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 62,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,160) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,160) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(62,160) = ( 62 × 160 ) / 2
LCM(62,160) = 9920 / 2
LCM(62,160) = 4960
