Lets's calculate GCF of 254,976
2 | 254, 976 |
127, 488 |
∴ 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 976
:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,976 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/73455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/83,976/885 is 2/73455
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 83,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(83,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(83,885) = ( 83 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(83,885) = 73455 / 1
LCM(83,885) = 73455
