Now, list down the factors of 198
:1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Now, list down the factors of 505
:1,5,101,505
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,505 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,505 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,292
2 | 50, 292 |
25, 146 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 146 = 7300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/50,505/292 is 1/7300
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 50,292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,292) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,292) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,292) = ( 50 × 292 ) / 2
LCM(50,292) = 14600 / 2
LCM(50,292) = 7300
