Lets's calculate GCF of 338,596
2 | 338, 596 |
169, 298 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 338
:1,2,13,26,169,338
Now, list down the factors of 596
:1,2,4,149,298,596
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 338,596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 338,596 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,2267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92947
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/92947
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 338/41,596/2267 is 2/92947
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 41,2267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,2267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,2267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,2267) = ( 41 × 2267 ) / 1
LCM(41,2267) = 92947 / 1
LCM(41,2267) = 92947
