1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36,37,74,111,148,222,333,444,666,1332
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1260,1332 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1260,1332 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,792
2 | 38, 792 |
19, 396 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 396 = 15048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/15048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1260/38,1332/792 is 36/15048
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 38,792 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,792) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,792) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,792) = ( 38 × 792 ) / 2
LCM(38,792) = 30096 / 2
LCM(38,792) = 15048
