Lets's calculate GCF of 504,161
7 | 504, 161 |
72, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
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 161
:1,7,23,161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 504,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 504,161 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 516,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/129516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 504/516,161/251 is 7/129516
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 516,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(516,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(516,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(516,251) = ( 516 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(516,251) = 129516 / 1
LCM(516,251) = 129516
