Lets's calculate GCF of 398,372
2 | 398, 372 |
199, 186 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 398
:1,2,199,398
Now, list down the factors of 372
:1,2,3,4,6,12,31,62,93,124,186,372
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 398,372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 398,372 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,516
2 | 10, 516 |
5, 258 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 258 = 2580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 398/10,372/516 is 2/2580
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 10,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,516) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,516) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,516) = ( 10 × 516 ) / 2
LCM(10,516) = 5160 / 2
LCM(10,516) = 2580
