The factors of 43 are 1, 43
The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
The HCF of 2,43,50 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2,43,50
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2
:1,2
Now, list down the factors of 43
:1,43
Now, list down the factors of 50
:1,2,5,10,25,50
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,43,50 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,43,50 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,789,385
3 | 21, 789, 385 |
7 | 7, 263, 385 |
1, 263, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 1 x 263 x 55 = 303765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/303765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/21,43/789,50/385 is 1/303765
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 21,789,385 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,789,385) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 21
GCF(21,789,385) x common factors =1 x 21 = 21
LCM(21,789,385) = ( 21 × 789 × 385 ) / 21
LCM(21,789,385) = 6379065 / 21
LCM(21,789,385) = 303765
