In the fractions 258/12,254/7507, numerators are 258,254
Denominators are 12,7507
The GCF of 258,254 is 2 .
LCM of 12,7507 is 90084.
The greatest common factor of 258/12,254/7507 = [GCF of 258,254]/[LCM of 12,7507]= 2/90084
Therefore, the GCF of 258/12,254/7507 is 2/90084.
To find the highest common factor of 258,254, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 258 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 43, 86, 129, 258
The factors of 254 are 1, 2, 127, 254
The HCF of 258,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 258,254
2 | 258, 254 |
129, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 258
:1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Now, list down the factors of 254
:1,2,127,254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 258,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 258,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,7507
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/90084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 258/12,254/7507 is 2/90084
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 12,7507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,7507) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,7507) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,7507) = ( 12 × 7507 ) / 1
LCM(12,7507) = 90084 / 1
LCM(12,7507) = 90084
