Lets's calculate GCF of 436,412
2 | 436, 412 |
2 | 218, 206 |
109, 103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 436
:1,2,4,109,218,436
Now, list down the factors of 412
:1,2,4,103,206,412
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 436,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 436,412 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 249577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/249577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/277,412/901 is 4/249577
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 277,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,901) = ( 277 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(277,901) = 249577 / 1
LCM(277,901) = 249577
