5 | 445, 260 |
89, 52 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 445
:1,5,89,445
Now, list down the factors of 260
:1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 445,260 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 445,260 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 878,600
2 | 878, 600 |
439, 300 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 439 x 300 = 263400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/263400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 445/878,260/600 is 5/263400
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 878,600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(878,600) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(878,600) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(878,600) = ( 878 × 600 ) / 2
LCM(878,600) = 526800 / 2
LCM(878,600) = 263400
