Lets's calculate GCF of 266,874
2 | 266, 874 |
19 | 133, 437 |
7, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Now, list down the factors of 266
:1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Now, list down the factors of 874
:1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 266,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 266,874 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13166
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/13166
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 266/58,874/227 is 38/13166
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 58,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(58,227) = ( 58 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(58,227) = 13166 / 1
LCM(58,227) = 13166
