Now, list down the factors of 436
:1,2,4,109,218,436
Now, list down the factors of 189
:1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 436,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 436,189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 284,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/284,189/103 is 1/29252
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 284,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(284,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(284,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(284,103) = ( 284 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(284,103) = 29252 / 1
LCM(284,103) = 29252
