Lets's calculate GCF of 154,532
2 | 154, 532 |
7 | 77, 266 |
11, 38 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 154
:1,2,7,11,14,22,77,154
Now, list down the factors of 532
:1,2,4,7,14,19,28,38,76,133,266,532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 154,532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 154,532 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,734
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/27158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/37,532/734 is 14/27158
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 37,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,734) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,734) = ( 37 × 734 ) / 1
LCM(37,734) = 27158 / 1
LCM(37,734) = 27158
