Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 250,3720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 250,3720 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,595
17 | 17, 595 |
1, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 1 x 35 = 595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 250/17,3720/595 is 10/595
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 17,595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,595) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,595) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(17,595) = ( 17 × 595 ) / 17
LCM(17,595) = 10115 / 17
LCM(17,595) = 595
