Now, list down the factors of 295
:1,5,59,295
Now, list down the factors of 162
:1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,162 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 468,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 134316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/134316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/468,162/287 is 1/134316
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 468,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(468,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(468,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(468,287) = ( 468 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(468,287) = 134316 / 1
LCM(468,287) = 134316
