64, 65 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15
Now, list down the factors of 960
:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,64,80,96,120,160,192,240,320,480,960
Now, list down the factors of 975
:1,3,5,13,15,25,39,65,75,195,325,975
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 960,975 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 960,975 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/12954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/51,975/254 is 15/12954
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 51,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,254) = ( 51 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(51,254) = 12954 / 1
LCM(51,254) = 12954
