200, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 600
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,150,200,300,600
Now, list down the factors of 267
:1,3,89,267
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,267 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,267 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,538
2 | 224, 538 |
112, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 112 x 269 = 60256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/60256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/224,267/538 is 3/60256
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 224,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(224,538) = ( 224 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(224,538) = 120512 / 2
LCM(224,538) = 60256
