∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 134
:1,2,67,134
Now, list down the factors of 358
:1,2,179,358
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 134,358 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 134,358 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114403
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/114403
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 134/491,358/233 is 2/114403
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 491,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,233) = ( 491 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(491,233) = 114403 / 1
LCM(491,233) = 114403
