1,2,3,4,6,8,12,17,24,34,51,68,102,136,204,408
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,408 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,408 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,888
2 | 252, 888 |
2 | 126, 444 |
3 | 63, 222 |
21, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 21 x 74 = 18648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/252,408/888 is 2/18648
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 252,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,888) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,888) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(252,888) = ( 252 × 888 ) / 12
LCM(252,888) = 223776 / 12
LCM(252,888) = 18648
