Lets's calculate GCF of 228,228
2 | 228, 228 |
2 | 114, 114 |
3 | 57, 57 |
19 | 19, 19 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 = 228
Now, list down the factors of 228
:1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Now, list down the factors of 228
:1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 228,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 228,228 is 228.
Lets's calculate LCM of 398,708
2 | 398, 708 |
199, 354 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 199 x 354 = 140892
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 228/140892
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/398,228/708 is 228/140892
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 398,708 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(398,708) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(398,708) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(398,708) = ( 398 × 708 ) / 2
LCM(398,708) = 281784 / 2
LCM(398,708) = 140892
