:1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Now, list down the factors of 7904
:1,2,4,8,13,16,19,26,32,38,52,76,104,152,208,247,304,416,494,608,988,1976,3952,7904
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 740,7904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,7904 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 263,263
263 | 263, 263 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 263 x 1 x 1 = 263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/263,7904/263 is 4/263
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 263,263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(263,263) = 263
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(263,263) x common factors =263 x 1 = 263
LCM(263,263) = ( 263 × 263 ) / 263
LCM(263,263) = 69169 / 263
LCM(263,263) = 263
