Lets's calculate GCF of 186,138
2 | 186, 138 |
3 | 93, 69 |
31, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Now, list down the factors of 186
:1,2,3,6,31,62,93,186
Now, list down the factors of 138
:1,2,3,6,23,46,69,138
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,138 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 631,670
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 422770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/422770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/631,138/670 is 6/422770
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 631,670 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(631,670) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(631,670) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(631,670) = ( 631 × 670 ) / 1
LCM(631,670) = 422770 / 1
LCM(631,670) = 422770
