:1,2,5,10,397,794,1985,3970
Now, list down the factors of 3000
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,125,150,200,250,300,375,500,600,750,1000,1500,3000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3970,3000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3970,3000 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/26532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3970/99,3000/268 is 10/26532
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 99,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,268) = ( 99 × 268 ) / 1
LCM(99,268) = 26532 / 1
LCM(99,268) = 26532
