∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 227
:1,227
Now, list down the factors of 412
:1,2,4,103,206,412
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 227,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 227,412 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,172
2 | 50, 172 |
25, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 86 = 4300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 227/50,412/172 is 1/4300
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 50,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(50,172) = ( 50 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(50,172) = 8600 / 2
LCM(50,172) = 4300
