Lets's calculate GCF of 304,247
19 | 304, 247 |
16, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Now, list down the factors of 304
:1,2,4,8,16,19,38,76,152,304
Now, list down the factors of 247
:1,13,19,247
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,247 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,247 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,250
2 | 78, 250 |
39, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 125 = 9750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/9750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/78,247/250 is 19/9750
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 78,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,250) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,250) = ( 78 × 250 ) / 2
LCM(78,250) = 19500 / 2
LCM(78,250) = 9750
