Lets's calculate GCF of 322,576
2 | 322, 576 |
161, 288 |
∴ 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 576
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,32,36,48,64,72,96,144,192,288,576
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 322,576 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 322,576 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,870
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/63510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 322/73,576/870 is 2/63510
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 73,870 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,870) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,870) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,870) = ( 73 × 870 ) / 1
LCM(73,870) = 63510 / 1
LCM(73,870) = 63510
