2 | 418, 152 |
19 | 209, 76 |
11, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38
Now, list down the factors of 418
:1,2,11,19,22,38,209,418
Now, list down the factors of 152
:1,2,4,8,19,38,76,152
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 418,152 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 418,152 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 314,978
2 | 314, 978 |
157, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 157 x 489 = 153546
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/153546
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/314,152/978 is 38/153546
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 314,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(314,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(314,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(314,978) = ( 314 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(314,978) = 307092 / 2
LCM(314,978) = 153546
