Lets's calculate GCF of 128,336
2 | 128, 336 |
2 | 64, 168 |
2 | 32, 84 |
2 | 16, 42 |
8, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
Now, list down the factors of 128
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128
Now, list down the factors of 336
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,42,48,56,84,112,168,336
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 128,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 128,336 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 337,437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147269
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/147269
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/337,336/437 is 16/147269
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 337,437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(337,437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(337,437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(337,437) = ( 337 × 437 ) / 1
LCM(337,437) = 147269 / 1
LCM(337,437) = 147269
