Now, list down the factors of 618
:1,2,3,6,103,206,309,618
Now, list down the factors of 148
:1,2,4,37,74,148
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 618,148 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 618,148 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/207940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 618/281,148/740 is 2/207940
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 281,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,740) = ( 281 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(281,740) = 207940 / 1
LCM(281,740) = 207940
