Lets's calculate GCF of 182,546
2 | 182, 546 |
7 | 91, 273 |
13 | 13, 39 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 13 = 182
Now, list down the factors of 182
:1,2,7,13,14,26,91,182
Now, list down the factors of 546
:1,2,3,6,7,13,14,21,26,39,42,78,91,182,273,546
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 182,546 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 182,546 is 182.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 182/26670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/42,546/635 is 182/26670
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 42,635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,635) = ( 42 × 635 ) / 1
LCM(42,635) = 26670 / 1
LCM(42,635) = 26670
