:1,2,439,878
Now, list down the factors of 266
:1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 878,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 878,266 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,500
2 | 76, 500 |
2 | 38, 250 |
19, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 125 = 9500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 878/76,266/500 is 2/9500
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 76,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,500) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,500) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(76,500) = ( 76 × 500 ) / 4
LCM(76,500) = 38000 / 4
LCM(76,500) = 9500
