Lets's calculate GCF of 217,620
31 | 217, 620 |
7, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 217
:1,7,31,217
Now, list down the factors of 620
:1,2,4,5,10,20,31,62,124,155,310,620
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 217,620 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 217,620 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,118
2 | 64, 118 |
32, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 32 x 59 = 3776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/3776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 217/64,620/118 is 31/3776
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 64,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(64,118) = ( 64 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(64,118) = 7552 / 2
LCM(64,118) = 3776
