Lets's calculate GCF of 104,596
2 | 104, 596 |
2 | 52, 298 |
26, 149 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 104
:1,2,4,8,13,26,52,104
Now, list down the factors of 596
:1,2,4,149,298,596
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 104,596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 104,596 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 145,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46545
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/46545
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/145,596/321 is 4/46545
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 145,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(145,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(145,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(145,321) = ( 145 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(145,321) = 46545 / 1
LCM(145,321) = 46545
