Lets's calculate GCF of 264,222
2 | 264, 222 |
3 | 132, 111 |
44, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Now, list down the factors of 264
:1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,22,24,33,44,66,88,132,264
Now, list down the factors of 222
:1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 264,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 264,222 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/32576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/64,222/509 is 6/32576
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 64,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,509) = ( 64 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(64,509) = 32576 / 1
LCM(64,509) = 32576
