17 | 697, 1394 |
41 | 41, 82 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 17 x 41 = 697
Now, list down the factors of 697
:1,17,41,697
Now, list down the factors of 1394
:1,2,17,34,41,82,697,1394
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 697,1394 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 697,1394 is 697.
Lets's calculate LCM of 443,268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 697/118724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 697/443,1394/268 is 697/118724
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 443,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,268) = ( 443 × 268 ) / 1
LCM(443,268) = 118724 / 1
LCM(443,268) = 118724
