Now, list down the factors of 269
:1,269
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 269,538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 269,538 is 269.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,164
2 | 38, 164 |
19, 82 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 82 = 3116
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 269/3116
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 269/38,538/164 is 269/3116
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 38,164 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,164) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,164) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,164) = ( 38 × 164 ) / 2
LCM(38,164) = 6232 / 2
LCM(38,164) = 3116
