∴ 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 332
:1,2,4,83,166,332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 538,332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 538,332 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 303,458
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138774
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/138774
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 538/303,332/458 is 2/138774
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 303,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(303,458) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(303,458) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(303,458) = ( 303 × 458 ) / 1
LCM(303,458) = 138774 / 1
LCM(303,458) = 138774
