Lets's calculate GCF of 442,704
2 | 442, 704 |
221, 352 |
∴ 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 704
:1,2,4,8,11,16,22,32,44,64,88,176,352,704
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 442,704 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 442,704 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,623
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/22,704/623 is 2/13706
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 22,623 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,623) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,623) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,623) = ( 22 × 623 ) / 1
LCM(22,623) = 13706 / 1
LCM(22,623) = 13706
