Now, list down the factors of 370
:1,2,5,10,37,74,185,370
Now, list down the factors of 262
:1,2,131,262
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 370,262 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 370,262 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 183,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175497
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/175497
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 370/183,262/959 is 2/175497
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 183,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(183,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(183,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(183,959) = ( 183 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(183,959) = 175497 / 1
LCM(183,959) = 175497
