Now, list down the factors of 8908
:1,2,4,17,34,68,131,262,524,2227,4454,8908
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5576,8908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5576,8908 is 68.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,2651
241 | 241, 2651 |
1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 241 x 1 x 11 = 2651
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 68/2651
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5576/241,8908/2651 is 68/2651
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 241,2651 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,2651) = 241
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,2651) x common factors =241 x 1 = 241
LCM(241,2651) = ( 241 × 2651 ) / 241
LCM(241,2651) = 638891 / 241
LCM(241,2651) = 2651
