Lets's calculate GCF of 596,164
2 | 596, 164 |
2 | 298, 82 |
149, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 596
:1,2,4,149,298,596
Now, list down the factors of 164
:1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 596,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 596,164 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/12656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 596/16,164/791 is 4/12656
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 16,791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,791) = ( 16 × 791 ) / 1
LCM(16,791) = 12656 / 1
LCM(16,791) = 12656
