:1,3,5,15,17,51,85,255
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 816,255 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 816,255 is 51.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,240
5 | 55, 240 |
11, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 11 x 48 = 2640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 51/2640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 816/55,255/240 is 51/2640
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 55,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,240) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,240) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(55,240) = ( 55 × 240 ) / 5
LCM(55,240) = 13200 / 5
LCM(55,240) = 2640
