2 | 2012, 5754 |
1006, 2877 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 2012
:1,2,4,503,1006,2012
Now, list down the factors of 5754
:1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,137,274,411,822,959,1918,2877,5754
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2012,5754 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2012,5754 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 435,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/112665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2012/435,5754/259 is 2/112665
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 435,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(435,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(435,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(435,259) = ( 435 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(435,259) = 112665 / 1
LCM(435,259) = 112665
