5 | 370, 735 |
74, 147 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 370
:1,2,5,10,37,74,185,370
Now, list down the factors of 735
:1,3,5,7,15,21,35,49,105,147,245,735
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 370,735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 370,735 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,948
2 | 24, 948 |
2 | 12, 474 |
3 | 6, 237 |
2, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 79 = 1896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 370/24,735/948 is 5/1896
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 24,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,948) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,948) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(24,948) = ( 24 × 948 ) / 12
LCM(24,948) = 22752 / 12
LCM(24,948) = 1896
