:1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Now, list down the factors of 731
:1,17,43,731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 282,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 282,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,562
2 | 34, 562 |
17, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 281 = 9554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/34,731/562 is 1/9554
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 34,562 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,562) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,562) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,562) = ( 34 × 562 ) / 2
LCM(34,562) = 19108 / 2
LCM(34,562) = 9554
