3 | 219, 960 |
73, 320 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 219
:1,3,73,219
Now, list down the factors of 960
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 219,960 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 219,960 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,138
2 | 66, 138 |
3 | 33, 69 |
11, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 23 = 1518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 219/66,960/138 is 3/1518
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 66,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,138) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,138) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(66,138) = ( 66 × 138 ) / 6
LCM(66,138) = 9108 / 6
LCM(66,138) = 1518
