Lets's calculate GCF of 143,286
11 | 143, 286 |
13 | 13, 26 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 x 13 = 143
Now, list down the factors of 143
:1,11,13,143
Now, list down the factors of 286
:1,2,11,13,22,26,143,286
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 143,286 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 143,286 is 143.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 257428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 143/257428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 143/556,286/463 is 143/257428
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 556,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,463) = ( 556 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(556,463) = 257428 / 1
LCM(556,463) = 257428
