2 | 504, 486 |
3 | 252, 243 |
3 | 84, 81 |
28, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18
Now, list down the factors of 504
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,12,14,18,21,24,28,36,42,56,63,72,84,126,168,252,504
Now, list down the factors of 486
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162,243,486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,486 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,7500
2 | 22, 7500 |
11, 3750 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 3750 = 82500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/82500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/22,486/7500 is 18/82500
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 22,7500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,7500) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,7500) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,7500) = ( 22 × 7500 ) / 2
LCM(22,7500) = 165000 / 2
LCM(22,7500) = 82500
