Lets's calculate GCF of 274,800
2 | 274, 800 |
137, 400 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 274
:1,2,137,274
Now, list down the factors of 800
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 274,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 274,800 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/129564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 274/236,800/549 is 2/129564
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 236,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,549) = ( 236 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(236,549) = 129564 / 1
LCM(236,549) = 129564
