Lets's calculate GCF of 236,136
2 | 236, 136 |
2 | 118, 68 |
59, 34 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 236
:1,2,4,59,118,236
Now, list down the factors of 136
:1,2,4,8,17,34,68,136
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,136 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,136 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 615,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117465
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/117465
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/615,136/191 is 4/117465
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 615,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(615,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(615,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(615,191) = ( 615 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(615,191) = 117465 / 1
LCM(615,191) = 117465
