Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 112,8256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 112,8256 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,552
2 | 74, 552 |
37, 276 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 276 = 20424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/20424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 112/74,8256/552 is 16/20424
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 74,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,552) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,552) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,552) = ( 74 × 552 ) / 2
LCM(74,552) = 40848 / 2
LCM(74,552) = 20424
