The factors of 250 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250
The factors of 436 are 1, 2, 4, 109, 218, 436
The HCF of 250,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 250,436
2 | 250, 436 |
125, 218 |
∴ 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 436
:1,2,4,109,218,436
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 250,436 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 250,436 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/87,436/103 is 2/8961
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 87,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,103) = ( 87 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(87,103) = 8961 / 1
LCM(87,103) = 8961
