Now, list down the factors of 897
:1,3,13,23,39,69,299,897
Now, list down the factors of 208
:1,2,4,8,13,16,26,52,104,208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 897,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 897,208 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,468
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/20124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/43,208/468 is 13/20124
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 43,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,468) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,468) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,468) = ( 43 × 468 ) / 1
LCM(43,468) = 20124 / 1
LCM(43,468) = 20124
