Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 237,391 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 237,391 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 150,548
2 | 150, 548 |
75, 274 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 75 x 274 = 41100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/150,391/548 is 1/41100
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 150,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(150,548) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(150,548) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(150,548) = ( 150 × 548 ) / 2
LCM(150,548) = 82200 / 2
LCM(150,548) = 41100
