The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10
The HCF of 48,10 is 2.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,10
2 | 48, 10 |
24, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 48
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 10
:1,2,5,10
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,10 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,10 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,465
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 233430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/233430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/502,10/465 is 2/233430
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 502,465 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,465) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,465) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(502,465) = ( 502 × 465 ) / 1
LCM(502,465) = 233430 / 1
LCM(502,465) = 233430
