Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 108,7038 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 108,7038 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,284
2 | 268, 284 |
2 | 134, 142 |
67, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 71 = 19028
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/19028
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 108/268,7038/284 is 18/19028
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 268,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,284) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,284) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(268,284) = ( 268 × 284 ) / 4
LCM(268,284) = 76112 / 4
LCM(268,284) = 19028
