Lets's calculate GCF of 25,72
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 25
:1,5,25
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 25,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 25,72 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,4900
5 | 255, 4900 |
51, 980 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 51 x 980 = 249900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/249900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/255,72/4900 is 1/249900
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 255,4900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,4900) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,4900) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(255,4900) = ( 255 × 4900 ) / 5
LCM(255,4900) = 1249500 / 5
LCM(255,4900) = 249900
