Lets's calculate GCF of 658,238
2 | 658, 238 |
7 | 329, 119 |
47, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14
Now, list down the factors of 658
:1,2,7,14,47,94,329,658
Now, list down the factors of 238
:1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 658,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 658,238 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/23144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/88,238/263 is 14/23144
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 88,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,263) = ( 88 × 263 ) / 1
LCM(88,263) = 23144 / 1
LCM(88,263) = 23144
