1,5,457,2285
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 115,2285 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 115,2285 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 218,318
2 | 218, 318 |
109, 159 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 109 x 159 = 34662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/34662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 115/218,2285/318 is 5/34662
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 218,318 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,318) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,318) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(218,318) = ( 218 × 318 ) / 2
LCM(218,318) = 69324 / 2
LCM(218,318) = 34662
