Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,5186 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,5186 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 417,278
139 | 417, 278 |
3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 139 x 3 x 2 = 834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/417,5186/278 is 2/834
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 417,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,278) = 139
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,278) x common factors =139 x 1 = 139
LCM(417,278) = ( 417 × 278 ) / 139
LCM(417,278) = 115926 / 139
LCM(417,278) = 834
