Lets's calculate GCF of 284,142
2 | 284, 142 |
71 | 142, 71 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 71 = 142
Now, list down the factors of 284
:1,2,4,71,142,284
Now, list down the factors of 142
:1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 284,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 284,142 is 142.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,4377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 113802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 142/113802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 284/26,142/4377 is 142/113802
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 26,4377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,4377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,4377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,4377) = ( 26 × 4377 ) / 1
LCM(26,4377) = 113802 / 1
LCM(26,4377) = 113802
