Lets's calculate GCF of 442,916
2 | 442, 916 |
221, 458 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 442
:1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Now, list down the factors of 916
:1,2,4,229,458,916
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 442,916 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 442,916 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,218
2 | 10, 218 |
5, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 109 = 1090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/10,916/218 is 2/1090
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 10,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,218) = ( 10 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(10,218) = 2180 / 2
LCM(10,218) = 1090
