Now, list down the factors of 218
:1,2,109,218
Now, list down the factors of 396
:1,2,3,4,6,9,11,12,18,22,33,36,44,66,99,132,198,396
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 218,396 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 218,396 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 33,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29271
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/29271
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 218/33,396/887 is 2/29271
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 33,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(33,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(33,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(33,887) = ( 33 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(33,887) = 29271 / 1
LCM(33,887) = 29271
