Lets's calculate GCF of 220,246
2 | 220, 246 |
110, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 220
:1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Now, list down the factors of 246
:1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 220,246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 220,246 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 535,717
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 383595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/383595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/535,246/717 is 2/383595
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 535,717 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,717) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,717) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,717) = ( 535 × 717 ) / 1
LCM(535,717) = 383595 / 1
LCM(535,717) = 383595
