Lets's calculate GCF of 206,902
2 | 206, 902 |
103, 451 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 206
:1,2,103,206
Now, list down the factors of 902
:1,2,11,22,41,82,451,902
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 206,902 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 206,902 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 234,138
2 | 234, 138 |
3 | 117, 69 |
39, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 39 x 23 = 5382
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5382
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/234,902/138 is 2/5382
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 234,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(234,138) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(234,138) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(234,138) = ( 234 × 138 ) / 6
LCM(234,138) = 32292 / 6
LCM(234,138) = 5382
