Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,161 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,252
2 | 600, 252 |
2 | 300, 126 |
3 | 150, 63 |
50, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 50 x 21 = 12600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/600,161/252 is 1/12600
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 600,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,252) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,252) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(600,252) = ( 600 × 252 ) / 12
LCM(600,252) = 151200 / 12
LCM(600,252) = 12600
