Lets's calculate GCF of 393,524
131 | 393, 524 |
3, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 131 = 131
Now, list down the factors of 393
:1,3,131,393
Now, list down the factors of 524
:1,2,4,131,262,524
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 393,524 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 393,524 is 131.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,608
2 | 20, 608 |
2 | 10, 304 |
5, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 152 = 3040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 131/3040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 393/20,524/608 is 131/3040
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 20,608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,608) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,608) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(20,608) = ( 20 × 608 ) / 4
LCM(20,608) = 12160 / 4
LCM(20,608) = 3040
