Lets's calculate GCF of 162,345
3 | 162, 345 |
54, 115 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 162
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Now, list down the factors of 345
:1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,345 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,345 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/21385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/91,345/235 is 3/21385
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 91,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(91,235) = ( 91 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(91,235) = 21385 / 1
LCM(91,235) = 21385
