Lets's calculate GCF of 197,2561
197 | 197, 2561 |
1, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 197 = 197
Now, list down the factors of 197
:1,197
Now, list down the factors of 2561
:1,13,197,2561
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,2561 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,2561 is 197.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,865
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 257770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 197/257770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/298,2561/865 is 197/257770
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 298,865 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,865) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,865) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,865) = ( 298 × 865 ) / 1
LCM(298,865) = 257770 / 1
LCM(298,865) = 257770
