2 | 530, 708 |
265, 354 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 530
:1,2,5,10,53,106,265,530
Now, list down the factors of 708
:1,2,3,4,6,12,59,118,177,236,354,708
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 530,708 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 530,708 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 802,802
2 | 802, 802 |
401 | 401, 401 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 1 x 1 = 802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 530/802,708/802 is 2/802
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 802,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,802) = 802
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,802) x common factors =802 x 1 = 802
LCM(802,802) = ( 802 × 802 ) / 802
LCM(802,802) = 643204 / 802
LCM(802,802) = 802
