Now, list down the factors of 242
:1,2,11,22,121,242
Now, list down the factors of 318
:1,2,3,6,53,106,159,318
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 242,318 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 242,318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 995,702
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 698490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/698490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/995,318/702 is 2/698490
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 995,702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(995,702) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(995,702) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(995,702) = ( 995 × 702 ) / 1
LCM(995,702) = 698490 / 1
LCM(995,702) = 698490
