:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,23,24,32,46,48,69,92,96,138,184,276,368,552,736,1104,2208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,2208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,2208 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,638
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/138446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/217,2208/638 is 1/138446
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 217,638 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,638) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,638) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,638) = ( 217 × 638 ) / 1
LCM(217,638) = 138446 / 1
LCM(217,638) = 138446
