2 | 12, 104 |
2 | 6, 52 |
3, 26 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Now, list down the factors of 48
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 416
:1,2,4,8,13,16,26,32,52,104,208,416
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,416 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,416 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 780,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 382980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/382980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/780,416/491 is 16/382980
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 780,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(780,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(780,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(780,491) = ( 780 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(780,491) = 382980 / 1
LCM(780,491) = 382980
