∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Now, list down the factors of 660
:1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,15,20,22,30,33,44,55,60,66,110,132,165,220,330,660
Now, list down the factors of 438
:1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 660,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 660,438 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,435
3 | 177, 435 |
59, 145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 145 = 25665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/25665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/177,438/435 is 6/25665
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 177,435 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,435) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,435) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(177,435) = ( 177 × 435 ) / 3
LCM(177,435) = 76995 / 3
LCM(177,435) = 25665
