2 | 272, 272 |
2 | 136, 136 |
2 | 68, 68 |
2 | 34, 34 |
17 | 17, 17 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 17 = 272
Now, list down the factors of 272
:1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Now, list down the factors of 272
:1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 272,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 272,272 is 272.
Lets's calculate LCM of 444,112
2 | 444, 112 |
2 | 222, 56 |
111, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 111 x 28 = 12432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 272/12432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 272/444,272/112 is 272/12432
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 444,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,112) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,112) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(444,112) = ( 444 × 112 ) / 4
LCM(444,112) = 49728 / 4
LCM(444,112) = 12432
