Lets's calculate GCF of 250,185
5 | 250, 185 |
50, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 250
:1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Now, list down the factors of 185
:1,5,37,185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 250,185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 250,185 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,1169
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104041
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/104041
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/89,185/1169 is 5/104041
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 89,1169 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,1169) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,1169) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,1169) = ( 89 × 1169 ) / 1
LCM(89,1169) = 104041 / 1
LCM(89,1169) = 104041
