Lets's calculate GCF of 428,254
2 | 428, 254 |
214, 127 |
∴ 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 254
:1,2,127,254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 428,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 428,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 689,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 378261
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/378261
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/689,254/549 is 2/378261
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 689,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(689,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(689,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(689,549) = ( 689 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(689,549) = 378261 / 1
LCM(689,549) = 378261
