∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Now, list down the factors of 955
:1,5,191,955
Now, list down the factors of 550
:1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 955,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 955,550 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/63366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 955/354,550/179 is 5/63366
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 354,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(354,179) = ( 354 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(354,179) = 63366 / 1
LCM(354,179) = 63366
