Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 273,7501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 273,7501 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,204
2 | 278, 204 |
139, 102 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 102 = 28356
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/28356
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/278,7501/204 is 13/28356
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 278,204 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,204) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,204) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,204) = ( 278 × 204 ) / 2
LCM(278,204) = 56712 / 2
LCM(278,204) = 28356
