Lets's calculate GCF of 550,550
2 | 550, 550 |
5 | 275, 275 |
5 | 55, 55 |
11 | 11, 11 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 11 = 550
Now, list down the factors of 550
:1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
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 550,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 550,550 is 550.
Lets's calculate LCM of 361,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 550/176529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 550/361,550/489 is 550/176529
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 361,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,489) = ( 361 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(361,489) = 176529 / 1
LCM(361,489) = 176529
