7 | 259, 70 |
37, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 518
:1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Now, list down the factors of 140
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 518,140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 518,140 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,3934
2 | 32, 3934 |
16, 1967 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 16 x 1967 = 62944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/62944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/32,140/3934 is 14/62944
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 32,3934 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,3934) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,3934) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(32,3934) = ( 32 × 3934 ) / 2
LCM(32,3934) = 125888 / 2
LCM(32,3934) = 62944
