Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,4158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,4158 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,300
2 | 466, 300 |
233, 150 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 233 x 150 = 69900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/69900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/466,4158/300 is 22/69900
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 466,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,300) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,300) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(466,300) = ( 466 × 300 ) / 2
LCM(466,300) = 139800 / 2
LCM(466,300) = 69900
