:1,3,197,591
Now, list down the factors of 230
:1,2,5,10,23,46,115,230
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,230 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,230 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,166
2 | 18, 166 |
9, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 83 = 1494
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1494
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/18,230/166 is 1/1494
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 18,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,166) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,166) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,166) = ( 18 × 166 ) / 2
LCM(18,166) = 2988 / 2
LCM(18,166) = 1494
