The factors of 118 are 1, 2, 59, 118
The HCF of 236,118 is 118.
Lets's calculate GCF of 236,118
2 | 236, 118 |
59 | 118, 59 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 59 = 118
Now, list down the factors of 236
:1,2,4,59,118,236
Now, list down the factors of 118
:1,2,59,118
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,118 is 118.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,134
2 | 34, 134 |
17, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 67 = 2278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 118/2278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/34,118/134 is 118/2278
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 34,134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,134) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,134) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,134) = ( 34 × 134 ) / 2
LCM(34,134) = 4556 / 2
LCM(34,134) = 2278
