2 | 530, 550 |
5 | 265, 275 |
53, 55 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10
Now, list down the factors of 530
:1,2,5,10,53,106,265,530
Now, list down the factors of 550
:1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,550 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 321676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/321676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/548,550/587 is 10/321676
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 548,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(548,587) = ( 548 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(548,587) = 321676 / 1
LCM(548,587) = 321676
