Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2528,1589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2528,1589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,236
2 | 88, 236 |
2 | 44, 118 |
22, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 22 x 59 = 5192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2528/88,1589/236 is 1/5192
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 88,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,236) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,236) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(88,236) = ( 88 × 236 ) / 4
LCM(88,236) = 20768 / 4
LCM(88,236) = 5192
