Lets's calculate GCF of 60,72
2 | 60, 72 |
2 | 30, 36 |
3 | 15, 18 |
5, 6 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Now, list down the factors of 60
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,72 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,72 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 625,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/438125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/625,72/701 is 12/438125
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 625,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(625,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(625,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(625,701) = ( 625 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(625,701) = 438125 / 1
LCM(625,701) = 438125
