Lets's calculate GCF of 412,886
2 | 412, 886 |
206, 443 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 412
:1,2,4,103,206,412
Now, list down the factors of 886
:1,2,443,886
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 412,886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 412,886 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,999
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 255744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/255744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 412/256,886/999 is 2/255744
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 256,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,999) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,999) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,999) = ( 256 × 999 ) / 1
LCM(256,999) = 255744 / 1
LCM(256,999) = 255744
