Lets's calculate GCF of 260,500
2 | 260, 500 |
2 | 130, 250 |
5 | 65, 125 |
13, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20
Now, list down the factors of 260
:1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 260,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 260,500 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 571,386
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 220406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/220406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/571,500/386 is 20/220406
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 571,386 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,386) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,386) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,386) = ( 571 × 386 ) / 1
LCM(571,386) = 220406 / 1
LCM(571,386) = 220406
