Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2251,5855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2251,5855 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 902,238
| 2 | 902, 238 |
| 451, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 451 x 119 = 107338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/107338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2251/902,5855/238 is 1/107338
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 902,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(902,238) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(902,238) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(902,238) = ( 902 × 238 ) / 2
LCM(902,238) = 214676 / 2
LCM(902,238) = 107338
