1,2,7,14,23,46,49,98,161,322,1127,2254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1500,2254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1500,2254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,458
2 | 186, 458 |
93, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 93 x 229 = 42594
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42594
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1500/186,2254/458 is 2/42594
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 186,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(186,458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(186,458) = ( 186 × 458 ) / 2
LCM(186,458) = 85188 / 2
LCM(186,458) = 42594
