1,2,4,5,10,20,43,86,172,215,430,860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 186,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 186,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,8522
2 | 44, 8522 |
22, 4261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 22 x 4261 = 187484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/187484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 186/44,860/8522 is 2/187484
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 44,8522 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,8522) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,8522) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(44,8522) = ( 44 × 8522 ) / 2
LCM(44,8522) = 374968 / 2
LCM(44,8522) = 187484
