2 | 506, 132 |
11 | 253, 66 |
23, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 11 = 22
Now, list down the factors of 506
:1,2,11,22,23,46,253,506
Now, list down the factors of 132
:1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,132 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 577,916
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 528532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/528532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/577,132/916 is 22/528532
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 577,916 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,916) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,916) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,916) = ( 577 × 916 ) / 1
LCM(577,916) = 528532 / 1
LCM(577,916) = 528532
