Now, list down the factors of 618
:1,2,3,6,103,206,309,618
Now, list down the factors of 116
:1,2,4,29,58,116
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 618,116 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 618,116 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,508
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 493268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/493268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 618/971,116/508 is 2/493268
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 971,508 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,508) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,508) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,508) = ( 971 × 508 ) / 1
LCM(971,508) = 493268 / 1
LCM(971,508) = 493268
