To find the highest common factor of 38,19, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, 38
The factors of 19 are 1, 19
The HCF of 38,19 is 19.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,19
19 | 38, 19 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Lets's calculate LCM of 390,786
2 | 390, 786 |
3 | 195, 393 |
65, 131 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 65 x 131 = 51090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/51090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/390,19/786 is 19/51090
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 390,786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(390,786) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(390,786) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(390,786) = ( 390 × 786 ) / 6
LCM(390,786) = 306540 / 6
LCM(390,786) = 51090
