Therefore, the GCF of 20/307,85/412 is 5/126484.
To find the highest common factor of 20,85, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
The factors of 85 are 1, 5, 17, 85
The HCF of 20,85 is 5.
Lets's calculate GCF of 20,85
5 | 20, 85 |
4, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 20
:1,2,4,5,10,20
Now, list down the factors of 85
:1,5,17,85
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,85 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,85 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 307,412
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 126484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/126484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/307,85/412 is 5/126484
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 307,412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,412) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,412) = ( 307 × 412 ) / 1
LCM(307,412) = 126484 / 1
LCM(307,412) = 126484
