Lets's calculate GCF of 385,165
5 | 385, 165 |
11 | 77, 33 |
7, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 11 = 55
Now, list down the factors of 385
:1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Now, list down the factors of 165
:1,3,5,11,15,33,55,165
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,165 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,165 is 55.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 55/34780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/47,165/740 is 55/34780
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 47,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,740) = ( 47 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(47,740) = 34780 / 1
LCM(47,740) = 34780
