Lets's calculate GCF of 842,650
2 | 842, 650 |
421, 325 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 842
:1,2,421,842
Now, list down the factors of 650
:1,2,5,10,13,25,26,50,65,130,325,650
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 842,650 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 842,650 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,900
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 141300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/141300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 842/157,650/900 is 2/141300
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 157,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,900) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,900) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,900) = ( 157 × 900 ) / 1
LCM(157,900) = 141300 / 1
LCM(157,900) = 141300
