:1,5,23,115
Now, list down the factors of 508
:1,2,4,127,254,508
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 115,508 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 115,508 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,128
2 | 242, 128 |
121, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 121 x 64 = 15488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 115/242,508/128 is 1/15488
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 242,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,128) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,128) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(242,128) = ( 242 × 128 ) / 2
LCM(242,128) = 30976 / 2
LCM(242,128) = 15488
