:1,3,113,339
Now, list down the factors of 172
:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 339,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 339,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,522
2 | 500, 522 |
250, 261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 250 x 261 = 130500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/130500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 339/500,172/522 is 1/130500
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 500,522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,522) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,522) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(500,522) = ( 500 × 522 ) / 2
LCM(500,522) = 261000 / 2
LCM(500,522) = 130500
