1,2,4,19,38,73,76,146,292,1387,2774,5548
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 122,5548 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 122,5548 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,208
2 | 72, 208 |
2 | 36, 104 |
2 | 18, 52 |
9, 26 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 26 = 1872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 122/72,5548/208 is 2/1872
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 72,208 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,208) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,208) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,208) = ( 72 × 208 ) / 8
LCM(72,208) = 14976 / 8
LCM(72,208) = 1872
