Lets's calculate GCF of 775,740
5 | 775, 740 |
155, 148 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 775
:1,5,25,31,155,775
Now, list down the factors of 740
:1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 775,740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 775,740 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/60844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 775/212,740/287 is 5/60844
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 212,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,287) = ( 212 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(212,287) = 60844 / 1
LCM(212,287) = 60844
