Lets's calculate GCF of 268,796
2 | 268, 796 |
2 | 134, 398 |
67, 199 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 268
:1,2,4,67,134,268
Now, list down the factors of 796
:1,2,4,199,398,796
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 268,796 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 268,796 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,703
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/67488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 268/96,796/703 is 4/67488
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 96,703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,703) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,703) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(96,703) = ( 96 × 703 ) / 1
LCM(96,703) = 67488 / 1
LCM(96,703) = 67488
