Now, list down the factors of 970
:1,2,5,10,97,194,485,970
Now, list down the factors of 145
:1,5,29,145
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 970,145 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 970,145 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 358,821
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 293918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/293918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/358,145/821 is 5/293918
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 358,821 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,821) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,821) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(358,821) = ( 358 × 821 ) / 1
LCM(358,821) = 293918 / 1
LCM(358,821) = 293918
