Lets's calculate GCF of 207,322
23 | 207, 322 |
9, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23
Now, list down the factors of 207
:1,3,9,23,69,207
Now, list down the factors of 322
:1,2,7,14,23,46,161,322
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 207,322 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 207,322 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/11172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/57,322/196 is 23/11172
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 57,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(57,196) = ( 57 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(57,196) = 11172 / 1
LCM(57,196) = 11172
