Lets's calculate GCF of 385,253
11 | 385, 253 |
35, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 385
:1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Now, list down the factors of 253
:1,11,23,253
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 385,253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 385,253 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 512,351
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 179712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/179712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 385/512,253/351 is 11/179712
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 512,351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(512,351) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(512,351) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(512,351) = ( 512 × 351 ) / 1
LCM(512,351) = 179712 / 1
LCM(512,351) = 179712
