2 | 538, 8200 |
269, 4100 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 538
:1,2,269,538
Now, list down the factors of 8200
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,41,50,82,100,164,200,205,328,410,820,1025,1640,2050,4100,8200
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 538,8200 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 538,8200 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 538/218,8200/267 is 2/58206
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 218,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(218,267) = ( 218 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(218,267) = 58206 / 1
LCM(218,267) = 58206
