In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 60,500,291
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,500,291 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,16,116 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,16,116 is 11600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,500,291
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 60
List of positive integer factors of 60 that divides 60 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 500
List of positive integer factors of 500 that divides 500 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Factors of 291
List of positive integer factors of 291 that divides 291 without a remainder.
1,3,97,291
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,500,291 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,500,291 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,16,116
2 | 25, 16, 116 |
2 | 25, 8, 58 |
25, 4, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 25 x 4 x 29 = 11600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/25,500/16,291/116 is 1/11600
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 25,16,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,16,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(25,16,116) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(25,16,116) = ( 25 × 16 × 116 ) / 4
LCM(25,16,116) = 46400 / 4
LCM(25,16,116) = 11600
