Now, list down the factors of 320
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,160,320
Now, list down the factors of 343
:1,7,49,343
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 320,343 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 320,343 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47436
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47436
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 320/201,343/236 is 1/47436
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 201,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,236) = ( 201 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(201,236) = 47436 / 1
LCM(201,236) = 47436
