Lets's calculate GCF of 304,342
2 | 304, 342 |
19 | 152, 171 |
8, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Now, list down the factors of 304
:1,2,4,8,16,19,38,76,152,304
Now, list down the factors of 342
:1,2,3,6,9,18,19,38,57,114,171,342
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,342 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,342 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,433
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/38104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/88,342/433 is 38/38104
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 88,433 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,433) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,433) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,433) = ( 88 × 433 ) / 1
LCM(88,433) = 38104 / 1
LCM(88,433) = 38104
