Lets's calculate GCF of 472,568
2 | 472, 568 |
2 | 236, 284 |
2 | 118, 142 |
59, 71 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Now, list down the factors of 472
:1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Now, list down the factors of 568
:1,2,4,8,71,142,284,568
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 472,568 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 472,568 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,140
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/2380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/17,568/140 is 8/2380
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 17,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,140) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,140) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,140) = ( 17 × 140 ) / 1
LCM(17,140) = 2380 / 1
LCM(17,140) = 2380
