Now, list down the factors of 245
:1,5,7,35,49,245
Now, list down the factors of 448
:1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,32,56,64,112,224,448
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,448 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,448 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,738
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31734
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/31734
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/43,448/738 is 7/31734
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 43,738 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,738) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,738) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,738) = ( 43 × 738 ) / 1
LCM(43,738) = 31734 / 1
LCM(43,738) = 31734
