1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 180,740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 180,740 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 588,250
2 | 588, 250 |
294, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 294 x 125 = 73500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/73500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 180/588,740/250 is 20/73500
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 588,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(588,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(588,250) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(588,250) = ( 588 × 250 ) / 2
LCM(588,250) = 147000 / 2
LCM(588,250) = 73500
