∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 315
:1,3,5,7,9,15,21,35,45,63,105,315
Now, list down the factors of 228
:1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 315,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 315,228 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,112
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 315/85,228/112 is 3/9520
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 85,112 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,112) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,112) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(85,112) = ( 85 × 112 ) / 1
LCM(85,112) = 9520 / 1
LCM(85,112) = 9520
