2 | 196, 450 |
98, 225 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 196
:1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Now, list down the factors of 450
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,25,30,45,50,75,90,150,225,450
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,450 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,450 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 77728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/77728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/224,450/347 is 2/77728
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 224,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,347) = ( 224 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(224,347) = 77728 / 1
LCM(224,347) = 77728
