Lets's calculate GCF of 712,302
2 | 712, 302 |
356, 151 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 712
:1,2,4,8,89,178,356,712
Now, list down the factors of 302
:1,2,151,302
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 712,302 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,302 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,8863
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/177260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/20,302/8863 is 2/177260
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 20,8863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,8863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,8863) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,8863) = ( 20 × 8863 ) / 1
LCM(20,8863) = 177260 / 1
LCM(20,8863) = 177260
