Now, list down the factors of 226
:1,2,113,226
Now, list down the factors of 874
:1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 226,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,145
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/82,874/145 is 2/11890
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 82,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,145) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,145) = ( 82 × 145 ) / 1
LCM(82,145) = 11890 / 1
LCM(82,145) = 11890
