Lets's calculate GCF of 222,478
2 | 222, 478 |
111, 239 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 222
:1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Now, list down the factors of 478
:1,2,239,478
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 222,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 222,478 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 223,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/116852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/223,478/524 is 2/116852
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 223,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,524) = ( 223 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(223,524) = 116852 / 1
LCM(223,524) = 116852
