2 | 718, 7008 |
359, 3504 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 718
:1,2,359,718
Now, list down the factors of 7008
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,73,96,146,219,292,438,584,876,1168,1752,2336,3504,7008
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 718,7008 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 718,7008 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 409,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 172189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/172189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 718/409,7008/421 is 2/172189
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 409,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(409,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(409,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(409,421) = ( 409 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(409,421) = 172189 / 1
LCM(409,421) = 172189
