Lets's calculate GCF of 104,478
2 | 104, 478 |
52, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 104
:1,2,4,8,13,26,52,104
Now, list down the factors of 478
:1,2,239,478
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 104,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 104,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,668
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/181028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 104/271,478/668 is 2/181028
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 271,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,668) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,668) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,668) = ( 271 × 668 ) / 1
LCM(271,668) = 181028 / 1
LCM(271,668) = 181028
