Lets's calculate GCF of 508,381
127 | 508, 381 |
4, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 127 = 127
Now, list down the factors of 508
:1,2,4,127,254,508
Now, list down the factors of 381
:1,3,127,381
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 508,381 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 508,381 is 127.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,5642
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 127/129766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 508/23,381/5642 is 127/129766
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 23,5642 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,5642) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,5642) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,5642) = ( 23 × 5642 ) / 1
LCM(23,5642) = 129766 / 1
LCM(23,5642) = 129766
