Lets's calculate GCF of 322,218
2 | 322, 218 |
161, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 322
:1,2,7,14,23,46,161,322
Now, list down the factors of 218
:1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,228
3 | 21, 228 |
7, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 76 = 1596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/21,218/228 is 2/1596
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 21,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,228) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,228) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,228) = ( 21 × 228 ) / 3
LCM(21,228) = 4788 / 3
LCM(21,228) = 1596
