Lets's calculate GCF of 544,320
2 | 544, 320 |
2 | 272, 160 |
2 | 136, 80 |
2 | 68, 40 |
2 | 34, 20 |
17, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
Now, list down the factors of 544
:1,2,4,8,16,17,32,34,68,136,272,544
Now, list down the factors of 320
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,160,320
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 544,320 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 544,320 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/10212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 544/12,320/851 is 32/10212
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 12,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,851) = ( 12 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(12,851) = 10212 / 1
LCM(12,851) = 10212
