∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 302
:1,2,151,302
Now, list down the factors of 698
:1,2,349,698
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 302,698 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 302,698 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,310
2 | 42, 310 |
21, 155 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 155 = 6510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 302/42,698/310 is 2/6510
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 42,310 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,310) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,310) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(42,310) = ( 42 × 310 ) / 2
LCM(42,310) = 13020 / 2
LCM(42,310) = 6510
