Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 223,8498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 223,8498 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 388,256
2 | 388, 256 |
2 | 194, 128 |
97, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 97 x 64 = 24832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 223/388,8498/256 is 1/24832
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 388,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(388,256) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(388,256) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(388,256) = ( 388 × 256 ) / 4
LCM(388,256) = 99328 / 4
LCM(388,256) = 24832
