Now, list down the factors of 502
:1,2,251,502
Now, list down the factors of 310
:1,2,5,10,31,62,155,310
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 502,310 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 502,310 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,1235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122265
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/122265
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 502/99,310/1235 is 2/122265
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 99,1235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,1235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,1235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,1235) = ( 99 × 1235 ) / 1
LCM(99,1235) = 122265 / 1
LCM(99,1235) = 122265
