7 | 119, 49 |
17, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 7 = 35
Now, list down the factors of 595
:1,5,7,17,35,85,119,595
Now, list down the factors of 245
:1,5,7,35,49,245
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 595,245 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 595,245 is 35.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,596
2 | 404, 596 |
2 | 202, 298 |
101, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 101 x 149 = 60196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/60196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/404,245/596 is 35/60196
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 404,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,596) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,596) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(404,596) = ( 404 × 596 ) / 4
LCM(404,596) = 240784 / 4
LCM(404,596) = 60196
