Lets's calculate GCF of 102,346
2 | 102, 346 |
51, 173 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 102
:1,2,3,6,17,34,51,102
Now, list down the factors of 346
:1,2,173,346
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 102,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 102,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,612
2 | 502, 612 |
251, 306 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 306 = 153612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/153612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 102/502,346/612 is 2/153612
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 502,612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,612) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,612) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,612) = ( 502 × 612 ) / 2
LCM(502,612) = 307224 / 2
LCM(502,612) = 153612
