Lets's calculate GCF of 322,176
2 | 322, 176 |
161, 88 |
∴ 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 176
:1,2,4,8,11,16,22,44,88,176
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,176 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,176 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/65,176/729 is 2/47385
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 65,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,729) = ( 65 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(65,729) = 47385 / 1
LCM(65,729) = 47385
