:1,151
Now, list down the factors of 2174
:1,2,1087,2174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 151,2174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 151,2174 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,978
2 | 232, 978 |
116, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 116 x 489 = 113448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/113448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 151/232,2174/978 is 1/113448
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 232,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(232,978) = ( 232 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(232,978) = 226896 / 2
LCM(232,978) = 113448
