Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1172,6987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1172,6987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 416,828
2 | 416, 828 |
2 | 208, 414 |
104, 207 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 104 x 207 = 86112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1172/416,6987/828 is 1/86112
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 416,828 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(416,828) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(416,828) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(416,828) = ( 416 × 828 ) / 4
LCM(416,828) = 344448 / 4
LCM(416,828) = 86112
