Lets's calculate GCF of 736,164
2 | 736, 164 |
2 | 368, 82 |
184, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 736
:1,2,4,8,16,23,32,46,92,184,368,736
Now, list down the factors of 164
:1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 736,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 736,164 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 248,633
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 156984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/156984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/248,164/633 is 4/156984
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 248,633 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(248,633) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(248,633) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(248,633) = ( 248 × 633 ) / 1
LCM(248,633) = 156984 / 1
LCM(248,633) = 156984
