Lets's calculate GCF of 98,98,350
2 | 98, 98, 350 |
7 | 49, 49, 175 |
7, 7, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 98
:1,2,7,14,49,98
Now, list down the factors of 98
:1,2,7,14,49,98
Now, list down the factors of 350
:1,2,5,7,10,14,25,35,50,70,175,350
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,98,350 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,98,350 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,42,33
2 | 12, 42, 33 |
3 | 6, 21, 33 |
2, 7, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 2 x 7 x 11 = 924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/12,98/42,350/33 is 14/924
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 12,42,33 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,42,33) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(12,42,33) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(12,42,33) = ( 12 × 42 × 33 ) / 18
LCM(12,42,33) = 16632 / 18
LCM(12,42,33) = 924
