The factors of 238 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
The HCF of 322,238 is 14.
Lets's calculate GCF of 322,238
2 | 322, 238 |
7 | 161, 119 |
23, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 322
:1,2,7,14,23,46,161,322
Now, list down the factors of 238
:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,238 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,7035
3 | 51, 7035 |
17, 2345 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 2345 = 119595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/119595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/51,238/7035 is 14/119595
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 51,7035 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,7035) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,7035) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,7035) = ( 51 × 7035 ) / 3
LCM(51,7035) = 358785 / 3
LCM(51,7035) = 119595
