Lets's calculate GCF of 658,526
2 | 658, 526 |
329, 263 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 658
:1,2,7,14,47,94,329,658
Now, list down the factors of 526
:1,2,263,526
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 658,526 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 658,526 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18601
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18601
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/19,526/979 is 2/18601
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 19,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,979) = ( 19 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(19,979) = 18601 / 1
LCM(19,979) = 18601
