Lets's calculate GCF of 290,155
5 | 290, 155 |
58, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 290
:1,2,5,10,29,58,145,290
Now, list down the factors of 155
:1,5,31,155
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 290,155 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 290,155 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,499
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/29940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/60,155/499 is 5/29940
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 60,499 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,499) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,499) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(60,499) = ( 60 × 499 ) / 1
LCM(60,499) = 29940 / 1
LCM(60,499) = 29940
