:1,3,5,15,37,111,185,555
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 990,555 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 990,555 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,524
131 | 131, 524 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 131 x 1 x 4 = 524
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/524
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 990/131,555/524 is 15/524
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 131,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,524) = 131
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,524) x common factors =131 x 1 = 131
LCM(131,524) = ( 131 × 524 ) / 131
LCM(131,524) = 68644 / 131
LCM(131,524) = 524
