Lets's calculate GCF of 250,146
2 | 250, 146 |
125, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 250
:1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Now, list down the factors of 146
:1,2,73,146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 250,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 250,146 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,635
5 | 115, 635 |
23, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 23 x 127 = 14605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/115,146/635 is 2/14605
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 115,635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,635) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,635) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(115,635) = ( 115 × 635 ) / 5
LCM(115,635) = 73025 / 5
LCM(115,635) = 14605
