Lets's calculate GCF of 246,346
2 | 246, 346 |
123, 173 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 246
:1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246
Now, list down the factors of 346
:1,2,173,346
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 246,346 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 246,346 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 246/88,346/505 is 2/44440
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 88,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,505) = ( 88 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(88,505) = 44440 / 1
LCM(88,505) = 44440
