Now, list down the factors of 536
:1,2,4,8,67,134,268,536
Now, list down the factors of 2771
:1,17,163,2771
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 536,2771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 536,2771 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 317,936
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/296712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 536/317,2771/936 is 1/296712
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 317,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,936) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,936) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,936) = ( 317 × 936 ) / 1
LCM(317,936) = 296712 / 1
LCM(317,936) = 296712
