Lets's calculate GCF of 500,393
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Now, list down the factors of 393
:1,3,131,393
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 500,393 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 500,393 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,966
2 | 46, 966 |
23 | 23, 483 |
1, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 1 x 21 = 966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/46,393/966 is 1/966
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 46,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,966) = 46
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,966) x common factors =46 x 1 = 46
LCM(46,966) = ( 46 × 966 ) / 46
LCM(46,966) = 44436 / 46
LCM(46,966) = 966
