Lets's calculate GCF of 486,150
2 | 486, 150 |
3 | 243, 75 |
81, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Now, list down the factors of 486
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Now, list down the factors of 150
:1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,150
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 486,150 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 486,150 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,6059
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 490779
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/490779
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 486/81,150/6059 is 6/490779
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 81,6059 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,6059) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,6059) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,6059) = ( 81 × 6059 ) / 1
LCM(81,6059) = 490779 / 1
LCM(81,6059) = 490779
