Lets's calculate GCF of 796,596
2 | 796, 596 |
2 | 398, 298 |
199, 149 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 796
:1,2,4,199,398,796
Now, list down the factors of 596
:1,2,4,149,298,596
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 796,596 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 796,596 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 420,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/80220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 796/420,596/191 is 4/80220
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 420,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(420,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(420,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(420,191) = ( 420 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(420,191) = 80220 / 1
LCM(420,191) = 80220
