Lets's calculate GCF of 700,785
5 | 700, 785 |
140, 157 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 700
:1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,25,28,35,50,70,100,140,175,350,700
Now, list down the factors of 785
:1,5,157,785
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 700,785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 700,785 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,171
3 | 162, 171 |
3 | 54, 57 |
18, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 18 x 19 = 3078
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/3078
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 700/162,785/171 is 5/3078
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 162,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,171) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,171) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(162,171) = ( 162 × 171 ) / 9
LCM(162,171) = 27702 / 9
LCM(162,171) = 3078
