Lets's calculate GCF of 86,160,500
2 | 86, 160, 500 |
43, 80, 250 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 86
:1,2,43,86
Now, list down the factors of 160
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,80,160
Now, list down the factors of 500
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,160,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,160,500 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,25,234
2 | 50, 25, 234 |
5 | 25, 25, 117 |
5 | 5, 5, 117 |
1, 1, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 117 = 5850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/50,160/25,500/234 is 2/5850
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 50,25,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,25,234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 50
GCF(50,25,234) x common factors =1 x 50 = 50
LCM(50,25,234) = ( 50 × 25 × 234 ) / 50
LCM(50,25,234) = 292500 / 50
LCM(50,25,234) = 5850
