Now, list down the factors of 405
:1,3,5,9,15,27,45,81,135,405
Now, list down the factors of 420
:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20,21,28,30,35,42,60,70,84,105,140,210,420
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 405,420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 405,420 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,350
2 | 208, 350 |
104, 175 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 104 x 175 = 36400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/36400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 405/208,420/350 is 15/36400
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 208,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,350) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,350) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(208,350) = ( 208 × 350 ) / 2
LCM(208,350) = 72800 / 2
LCM(208,350) = 36400
