Lets's calculate GCF of 282,158
2 | 282, 158 |
141, 79 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 282
:1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Now, list down the factors of 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 282,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 282,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,794
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 331098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/331098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 282/417,158/794 is 2/331098
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 417,794 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,794) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,794) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,794) = ( 417 × 794 ) / 1
LCM(417,794) = 331098 / 1
LCM(417,794) = 331098
