Lets's calculate GCF of 559,182
13 | 559, 182 |
43, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Now, list down the factors of 559
:1,13,43,559
Now, list down the factors of 182
:1,2,7,13,14,26,91,182
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 559,182 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 559,182 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/42920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 559/232,182/185 is 13/42920
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 232,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,185) = ( 232 × 185 ) / 1
LCM(232,185) = 42920 / 1
LCM(232,185) = 42920
