Now, list down the factors of 3536
:1,2,4,8,13,16,17,26,34,52,68,104,136,208,221,272,442,884,1768,3536
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2330,3536 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2330,3536 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 578,2136
2 | 578, 2136 |
289, 1068 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 289 x 1068 = 617304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/617304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2330/578,3536/2136 is 2/617304
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 578,2136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(578,2136) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(578,2136) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(578,2136) = ( 578 × 2136 ) / 2
LCM(578,2136) = 1234608 / 2
LCM(578,2136) = 617304
