Greatest Common Factor of 500/44,250/161

Given fractions are 500/44,250/161

Formula to find GCF of Fractions is

GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators

As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators

In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 500,250

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 500,250 is 250 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,161 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 44,161 is 7084 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 500,250

GCF of Fractions 500/44,250/161 is 250/7084

2 500, 250
5 250, 125
5 50, 25
5 10, 5
2, 1

∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 250

Lets's calculate LCM of 44,161

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7084

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 250/7084

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/44,250/161 is 250/7084

Least Common Multiple of 44,161 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 44,161 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 44,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(44,161) = 1

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

GCF(44,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(44,161) = ( 44 × 161 ) / 1

LCM(44,161) = 7084 / 1

LCM(44,161) = 7084
