Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3350,2189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3350,2189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 100,250
2 | 100, 250 |
5 | 50, 125 |
5 | 10, 25 |
2, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 2 x 5 = 500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3350/100,2189/250 is 1/500
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 100,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(100,250) = 50
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(100,250) x common factors =50 x 1 = 50
LCM(100,250) = ( 100 × 250 ) / 50
LCM(100,250) = 25000 / 50
LCM(100,250) = 500
