1,2,4,5,10,20,29,58,116,145,290,580
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 855,580 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 855,580 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,482
2 | 362, 482 |
181, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 241 = 87242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/87242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 855/362,580/482 is 5/87242
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 362,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,482) = ( 362 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(362,482) = 174484 / 2
LCM(362,482) = 87242
