Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,9980 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,9980 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,896
2 | 250, 896 |
125, 448 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 125 x 448 = 112000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/112000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/250,9980/896 is 5/112000
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 250,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,896) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,896) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(250,896) = ( 250 × 896 ) / 2
LCM(250,896) = 224000 / 2
LCM(250,896) = 112000
