:1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 148,442 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 148,442 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,988
2 | 250, 988 |
125, 494 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 125 x 494 = 123500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/123500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/250,442/988 is 2/123500
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 250,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,988) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,988) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(250,988) = ( 250 × 988 ) / 2
LCM(250,988) = 247000 / 2
LCM(250,988) = 123500
