Now, list down the factors of 340
:1,2,4,5,10,17,20,34,68,85,170,340
Now, list down the factors of 658
:1,2,7,14,47,94,329,658
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 340,658 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 340,658 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 340/25,658/998 is 2/24950
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 25,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,998) = ( 25 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(25,998) = 24950 / 1
LCM(25,998) = 24950
