Lets's calculate GCF of 990,124
2 | 990, 124 |
495, 62 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 990
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,11,15,18,22,30,33,45,55,66,90,99,110,165,198,330,495,990
Now, list down the factors of 124
:1,2,4,31,62,124
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 990,124 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 990,124 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,474
2 | 400, 474 |
200, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 200 x 237 = 94800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/94800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 990/400,124/474 is 2/94800
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 400,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(400,474) = ( 400 × 474 ) / 2
LCM(400,474) = 189600 / 2
LCM(400,474) = 94800
