Lets's calculate GCF of 781,160
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 781
:1,11,71,781
Now, list down the factors of 160
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 781,160 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 781,160 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,624
2 | 72, 624 |
2 | 36, 312 |
2 | 18, 156 |
3 | 9, 78 |
3, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 26 = 1872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 781/72,160/624 is 1/1872
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 72,624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,624) = 24
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,624) x common factors =24 x 1 = 24
LCM(72,624) = ( 72 × 624 ) / 24
LCM(72,624) = 44928 / 24
LCM(72,624) = 1872
