Lets's calculate GCF of 82,98
2 | 82, 98 |
41, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 82
:1,2,41,82
Now, list down the factors of 98
:1,2,7,14,49,98
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 82,98 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 82,98 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 234,2732
2 | 234, 2732 |
117, 1366 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 117 x 1366 = 319644
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/319644
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/234,98/2732 is 2/319644
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 234,2732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(234,2732) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(234,2732) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(234,2732) = ( 234 × 2732 ) / 2
LCM(234,2732) = 639288 / 2
LCM(234,2732) = 319644
