Lets's calculate GCF of 386,978
2 | 386, 978 |
193, 489 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 386
:1,2,193,386
Now, list down the factors of 978
:1,2,3,6,163,326,489,978
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 386,978 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 386,978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 386/24,978/181 is 2/4344
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 24,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(24,181) = ( 24 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(24,181) = 4344 / 1
LCM(24,181) = 4344
