2 | 386, 360 |
193, 180 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 386
:1,2,193,386
Now, list down the factors of 360
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,72,90,120,180,360
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 386,360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 386,360 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 199,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/50347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 386/199,360/253 is 2/50347
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 199,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(199,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(199,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(199,253) = ( 199 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(199,253) = 50347 / 1
LCM(199,253) = 50347
