Lets's calculate GCF of 474,500
2 | 474, 500 |
237, 250 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 474
:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 474,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 474,500 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 376,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/119192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/376,500/317 is 2/119192
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 376,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(376,317) = ( 376 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(376,317) = 119192 / 1
LCM(376,317) = 119192
