2 | 410, 242 |
205, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 410
:1,2,5,10,41,82,205,410
Now, list down the factors of 242
:1,2,11,22,121,242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 410,242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 410,242 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,2278
2 | 36, 2278 |
18, 1139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 18 x 1139 = 41004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 410/36,242/2278 is 2/41004
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 36,2278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,2278) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,2278) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(36,2278) = ( 36 × 2278 ) / 2
LCM(36,2278) = 82008 / 2
LCM(36,2278) = 41004
