So the greatest common factor 932,2418 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,200
2 | 600, 200 |
2 | 300, 100 |
2 | 150, 50 |
5 | 75, 25 |
5 | 15, 5 |
3, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 3 x 1 = 600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 932/600,2418/200 is 2/600
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 600,200 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,200) = 200
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,200) x common factors =200 x 1 = 200
LCM(600,200) = ( 600 × 200 ) / 200
LCM(600,200) = 120000 / 200
LCM(600,200) = 600
