Lets's calculate GCF of 589,248
31 | 589, 248 |
19, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31
Now, list down the factors of 589
:1,19,31,589
Now, list down the factors of 248
:1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 589,248 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 589,248 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 245,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/238140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 589/245,248/972 is 31/238140
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 245,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(245,972) = ( 245 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(245,972) = 238140 / 1
LCM(245,972) = 238140
