Lets's calculate GCF of 254,172
2 | 254, 172 |
127, 86 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 810,183
3 | 810, 183 |
270, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 270 x 61 = 49410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/810,172/183 is 2/49410
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 810,183 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(810,183) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(810,183) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(810,183) = ( 810 × 183 ) / 3
LCM(810,183) = 148230 / 3
LCM(810,183) = 49410
