The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
The HCF of 300,100 is 100.
Lets's calculate GCF of 300,100
2 | 300, 100 |
2 | 150, 50 |
5 | 75, 25 |
5 | 15, 5 |
3, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 100
Now, list down the factors of 300
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,25,30,50,60,75,100,150,300
Now, list down the factors of 100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 300,100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 300,100 is 100.
Lets's calculate LCM of 396,960
2 | 396, 960 |
2 | 198, 480 |
3 | 99, 240 |
33, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 33 x 80 = 31680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 100/31680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 300/396,100/960 is 100/31680
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 396,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(396,960) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(396,960) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(396,960) = ( 396 × 960 ) / 12
LCM(396,960) = 380160 / 12
LCM(396,960) = 31680
