Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 118,730 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 118,730 is 2.

Lets's calculate LCM of 261,500

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130500

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/130500

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 118/261,730/500 is 2/130500

Least Common Multiple of 261,500 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 261,500 with GCF Formula

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 261,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(261,500) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(261,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(261,500) = ( 261 × 500 ) / 1

LCM(261,500) = 130500 / 1

LCM(261,500) = 130500
