:1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 378,250
2 | 378, 250 |
189, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 189 x 125 = 47250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/378,157/250 is 1/47250
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 378,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,250) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(378,250) = ( 378 × 250 ) / 2
LCM(378,250) = 94500 / 2
LCM(378,250) = 47250
