:1,2,251,502
Now, list down the factors of 356
:1,2,4,89,178,356
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,356 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,755
5 | 75, 755 |
15, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 15 x 151 = 11325
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11325
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/75,356/755 is 2/11325
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 75,755 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,755) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,755) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(75,755) = ( 75 × 755 ) / 5
LCM(75,755) = 56625 / 5
LCM(75,755) = 11325
