Lets's calculate GCF of 28,74
2 | 28, 74 |
14, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 28
:1,2,4,7,14,28
Now, list down the factors of 74
:1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 296,4491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1329336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1329336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/296,74/4491 is 2/1329336
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 296,4491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,4491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,4491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(296,4491) = ( 296 × 4491 ) / 1
LCM(296,4491) = 1329336 / 1
LCM(296,4491) = 1329336
