1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,25,30,36,45,50,60,75,90,100,150,180,225,300,450,900
Factors of 802
List of positive integer factors of 802 that divides 802 without a remainder.
1,2,401,802
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 900,802 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 900,802 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 896,668
2 | 896, 668 |
2 | 448, 334 |
224, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 224 x 167 = 149632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/896,802/668 is 2/149632
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 896,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,668) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,668) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(896,668) = ( 896 × 668 ) / 4
LCM(896,668) = 598528 / 4
LCM(896,668) = 149632
