The HCF of 275,500 is 25.
Lets's calculate GCF of 275,500
5 | 275, 500 |
5 | 55, 100 |
11, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 5 = 25
Now, list down the factors of 275
:1,5,11,25,55,275
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 275,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 275,500 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 420,366
2 | 420, 366 |
3 | 210, 183 |
70, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 70 x 61 = 25620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/25620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 275/420,500/366 is 25/25620
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 420,366 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,366) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,366) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(420,366) = ( 420 × 366 ) / 6
LCM(420,366) = 153720 / 6
LCM(420,366) = 25620
