Lets's calculate GCF of 412,158
2 | 412, 158 |
206, 79 |
∴ 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 158
:1,2,79,158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 412,158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 412,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 366,761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 278526
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/278526
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 412/366,158/761 is 2/278526
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 366,761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(366,761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(366,761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(366,761) = ( 366 × 761 ) / 1
LCM(366,761) = 278526 / 1
LCM(366,761) = 278526
