:1,2,4,8,16
Now, list down the factors of 194
:1,2,97,194
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,194 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,194 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 285,320
5 | 285, 320 |
57, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 57 x 64 = 18240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/285,194/320 is 2/18240
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 285,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(285,320) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(285,320) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(285,320) = ( 285 × 320 ) / 5
LCM(285,320) = 91200 / 5
LCM(285,320) = 18240
