Lets's calculate GCF of 660,2101
11 | 660, 2101 |
60, 191 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
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 2101
:1,11,191,2101
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 660,2101 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 660,2101 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,520
2 | 236, 520 |
2 | 118, 260 |
59, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 59 x 130 = 30680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/30680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 660/236,2101/520 is 11/30680
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 236,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,520) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,520) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(236,520) = ( 236 × 520 ) / 4
LCM(236,520) = 122720 / 4
LCM(236,520) = 30680
