∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 474
:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Now, list down the factors of 573
:1,3,191,573
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 474,573 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 474,573 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,238
7 | 91, 238 |
13, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 13 x 34 = 3094
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3094
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/91,573/238 is 3/3094
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 91,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,238) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,238) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(91,238) = ( 91 × 238 ) / 7
LCM(91,238) = 21658 / 7
LCM(91,238) = 3094
