∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 146
:1,2,73,146
Now, list down the factors of 382
:1,2,191,382
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,382 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,2315
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 201405
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/201405
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/87,382/2315 is 2/201405
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 87,2315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,2315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,2315) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,2315) = ( 87 × 2315 ) / 1
LCM(87,2315) = 201405 / 1
LCM(87,2315) = 201405
