Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 192,5872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 192,5872 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,380
2 | 74, 380 |
37, 190 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 190 = 14060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/14060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 192/74,5872/380 is 16/14060
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 74,380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,380) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,380) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,380) = ( 74 × 380 ) / 2
LCM(74,380) = 28120 / 2
LCM(74,380) = 14060
