The HCF of 200,250 is 50.
Lets's calculate GCF of 200,250
2 | 200, 250 |
5 | 100, 125 |
5 | 20, 25 |
4, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 = 50
Now, list down the factors of 200
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,50,100,200
Now, list down the factors of 250
:1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 200,250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 200,250 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,957
29 | 406, 957 |
14, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 14 x 33 = 13398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/13398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/406,250/957 is 50/13398
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 406,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,957) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,957) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(406,957) = ( 406 × 957 ) / 29
LCM(406,957) = 388542 / 29
LCM(406,957) = 13398
