Now, list down the factors of 2298
:1,2,3,6,383,766,1149,2298
Now, list down the factors of 5300
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,53,100,106,212,265,530,1060,1325,2650,5300
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2298,5300 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2298,5300 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 138,452
2 | 138, 452 |
69, 226 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 69 x 226 = 31188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2298/138,5300/452 is 2/31188
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 138,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(138,452) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(138,452) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(138,452) = ( 138 × 452 ) / 2
LCM(138,452) = 62376 / 2
LCM(138,452) = 31188
