:1,2,5,10,23,25,46,50,115,230,575,1150
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2341,1150 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2341,1150 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 715,250
5 | 715, 250 |
143, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 143 x 50 = 35750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2341/715,1150/250 is 1/35750
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 715,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(715,250) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(715,250) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(715,250) = ( 715 × 250 ) / 5
LCM(715,250) = 178750 / 5
LCM(715,250) = 35750
