Lets's calculate GCF of 664,158
2 | 664, 158 |
332, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 664
:1,2,4,8,83,166,332,664
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 664,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 664,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,960
2 | 38, 960 |
19, 480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 480 = 18240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 664/38,158/960 is 2/18240
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 38,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,960) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,960) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,960) = ( 38 × 960 ) / 2
LCM(38,960) = 36480 / 2
LCM(38,960) = 18240
