Lets's calculate GCF of 196,142
2 | 196, 142 |
98, 71 |
∴ 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 142
:1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,142 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 93,644
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/93,142/644 is 2/59892
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 93,644 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,644) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(93,644) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(93,644) = ( 93 × 644 ) / 1
LCM(93,644) = 59892 / 1
LCM(93,644) = 59892
