:1,2,179,358
Now, list down the factors of 866
:1,2,433,866
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 358,866 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 358,866 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 302,252
2 | 302, 252 |
151, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 151 x 126 = 38052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/38052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/302,866/252 is 2/38052
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 302,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(302,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(302,252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(302,252) = ( 302 × 252 ) / 2
LCM(302,252) = 76104 / 2
LCM(302,252) = 38052
