Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 279,886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 279,886 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,366
2 | 250, 366 |
125, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 125 x 183 = 45750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 279/250,886/366 is 1/45750
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 250,366 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,366) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,366) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(250,366) = ( 250 × 366 ) / 2
LCM(250,366) = 91500 / 2
LCM(250,366) = 45750
