Lets's calculate GCF of 484,838
2 | 484, 838 |
242, 419 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 484
:1,2,4,11,22,44,121,242,484
Now, list down the factors of 838
:1,2,419,838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 484,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 484,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,590
2 | 20, 590 |
5 | 10, 295 |
2, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 2 x 59 = 1180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 484/20,838/590 is 2/1180
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 20,590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,590) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,590) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(20,590) = ( 20 × 590 ) / 10
LCM(20,590) = 11800 / 10
LCM(20,590) = 1180
