Now, list down the factors of 268
:1,2,4,67,134,268
Now, list down the factors of 403
:1,13,31,403
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,403 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,403 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39579
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39579
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/237,403/167 is 1/39579
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 237,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,167) = ( 237 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(237,167) = 39579 / 1
LCM(237,167) = 39579
