2 | 112, 738 |
56, 369 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 112
:1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,56,112
Now, list down the factors of 738
:1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 112,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 112,738 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,554
2 | 224, 554 |
112, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 112 x 277 = 62048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/62048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 112/224,738/554 is 2/62048
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 224,554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(224,554) = ( 224 × 554 ) / 2
LCM(224,554) = 124096 / 2
LCM(224,554) = 62048
