Lets's calculate GCF of 14,48
2 | 14, 48 |
7, 24 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 14
:1,2,7,14
Now, list down the factors of 48
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,48 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,48 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 936,1229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1150344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1150344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/936,48/1229 is 2/1150344
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 936,1229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,1229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,1229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(936,1229) = ( 936 × 1229 ) / 1
LCM(936,1229) = 1150344 / 1
LCM(936,1229) = 1150344
