Now, list down the factors of 786
:1,2,3,6,131,262,393,786
Now, list down the factors of 284
:1,2,4,71,142,284
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 786,284 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 786,284 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 245,232
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 786/245,284/232 is 2/56840
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 245,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,232) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,232) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(245,232) = ( 245 × 232 ) / 1
LCM(245,232) = 56840 / 1
LCM(245,232) = 56840
