Lets's calculate GCF of 133,266
7 | 133, 266 |
19 | 19, 38 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 19 = 133
Now, list down the factors of 133
:1,7,19,133
Now, list down the factors of 266
:1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 133,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 133,266 is 133.
Lets's calculate LCM of 548,586
2 | 548, 586 |
274, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 274 x 293 = 160564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 133/160564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 133/548,266/586 is 133/160564
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 548,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(548,586) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(548,586) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(548,586) = ( 548 × 586 ) / 2
LCM(548,586) = 321128 / 2
LCM(548,586) = 160564
