∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 154
:1,2,7,11,14,22,77,154
Now, list down the factors of 562
:1,2,281,562
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 154,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 154,562 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,291
3 | 48, 291 |
16, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 16 x 97 = 4656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 154/48,562/291 is 2/4656
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 48,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,291) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,291) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(48,291) = ( 48 × 291 ) / 3
LCM(48,291) = 13968 / 3
LCM(48,291) = 4656
