Now, list down the factors of 358
:1,2,179,358
Now, list down the factors of 454
:1,2,227,454
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 358,454 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 358,454 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/59961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/237,454/253 is 2/59961
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 237,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,253) = ( 237 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(237,253) = 59961 / 1
LCM(237,253) = 59961
