Lets's calculate GCF of 248,218
2 | 248, 218 |
124, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 248
:1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Now, list down the factors of 218
:1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/164,218/357 is 2/58548
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 164,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(164,357) = ( 164 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(164,357) = 58548 / 1
LCM(164,357) = 58548
