:1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 247,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 247,156 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,2502
3 | 51, 2502 |
17, 834 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 834 = 42534
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/42534
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/51,156/2502 is 13/42534
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 51,2502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,2502) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,2502) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,2502) = ( 51 × 2502 ) / 3
LCM(51,2502) = 127602 / 3
LCM(51,2502) = 42534
