Lets's calculate GCF of 250,551
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 250
:1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Now, list down the factors of 551
:1,19,29,551
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 250,551 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 250,551 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,360
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/73,551/360 is 1/26280
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 73,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,360) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,360) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,360) = ( 73 × 360 ) / 1
LCM(73,360) = 26280 / 1
LCM(73,360) = 26280
