Now, list down the factors of 401
:1,401
Now, list down the factors of 984
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,41,82,123,164,246,328,492,984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 401,984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 401,984 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,900
5 | 85, 900 |
17, 180 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 180 = 15300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/85,984/900 is 1/15300
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 85,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,900) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,900) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(85,900) = ( 85 × 900 ) / 5
LCM(85,900) = 76500 / 5
LCM(85,900) = 15300
