:1,2,5,10,23,46,115,230
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 260,230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 260,230 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 206,976
2 | 206, 976 |
103, 488 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 103 x 488 = 100528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/100528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/206,230/976 is 10/100528
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 206,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(206,976) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(206,976) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(206,976) = ( 206 × 976 ) / 2
LCM(206,976) = 201056 / 2
LCM(206,976) = 100528
