25, 26 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32
Now, list down the factors of 800
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Now, list down the factors of 832
:1,2,4,8,13,16,26,32,52,64,104,208,416,832
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 800,832 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 800,832 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,394
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/6698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 800/17,832/394 is 32/6698
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 17,394 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,394) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,394) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,394) = ( 17 × 394 ) / 1
LCM(17,394) = 6698 / 1
LCM(17,394) = 6698
