2 | 50, 2690 |
5 | 25, 1345 |
5, 269 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10
Now, list down the factors of 50
:1,2,5,10,25,50
Now, list down the factors of 2690
:1,2,5,10,269,538,1345,2690
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 50,2690 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,2690 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 258,1157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/298506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/258,2690/1157 is 10/298506
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 258,1157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(258,1157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(258,1157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(258,1157) = ( 258 × 1157 ) / 1
LCM(258,1157) = 298506 / 1
LCM(258,1157) = 298506
