Lets's calculate GCF of 608,950
2 | 608, 950 |
19 | 304, 475 |
16, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Now, list down the factors of 608
:1,2,4,8,16,19,32,38,76,152,304,608
Now, list down the factors of 950
:1,2,5,10,19,25,38,50,95,190,475,950
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 608,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 608,950 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,741
19 | 19, 741 |
1, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 1 x 39 = 741
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/741
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 608/19,950/741 is 38/741
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 19,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,741) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,741) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(19,741) = ( 19 × 741 ) / 19
LCM(19,741) = 14079 / 19
LCM(19,741) = 741
