Lets's calculate GCF of 232,702
2 | 232, 702 |
116, 351 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 232
:1,2,4,8,29,58,116,232
Now, list down the factors of 702
:1,2,3,6,9,13,18,26,27,39,54,78,117,234,351,702
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 232,702 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 232,702 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100091
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100091
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/101,702/991 is 2/100091
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 101,991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,991) = ( 101 × 991 ) / 1
LCM(101,991) = 100091 / 1
LCM(101,991) = 100091
