2 | 498, 500 |
249, 250 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 498
:1,2,3,6,83,166,249,498
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 498,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 498,500 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 507,297
3 | 507, 297 |
169, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 169 x 99 = 50193
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/50193
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 498/507,500/297 is 2/50193
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 507,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,297) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,297) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(507,297) = ( 507 × 297 ) / 3
LCM(507,297) = 150579 / 3
LCM(507,297) = 50193
