Lets's calculate GCF of 231,836
11 | 231, 836 |
21, 76 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Now, list down the factors of 231
:1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Now, list down the factors of 836
:1,2,4,11,19,22,38,44,76,209,418,836
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 231,836 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 231,836 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 282230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/282230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 231/334,836/845 is 11/282230
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 334,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,845) = ( 334 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(334,845) = 282230 / 1
LCM(334,845) = 282230
