Lets's calculate GCF of 248,713
31 | 248, 713 |
8, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 248
:1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Now, list down the factors of 713
:1,23,31,713
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,713 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,713 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109969
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/109969
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/397,713/277 is 31/109969
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 397,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,277) = ( 397 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(397,277) = 109969 / 1
LCM(397,277) = 109969
