Lets's calculate GCF of 428,786
2 | 428, 786 |
214, 393 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 428
:1,2,4,107,214,428
Now, list down the factors of 786
:1,2,3,6,131,262,393,786
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 428,786 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 428,786 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 531,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120537
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/120537
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/531,786/227 is 2/120537
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 531,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(531,227) = ( 531 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(531,227) = 120537 / 1
LCM(531,227) = 120537
