Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1946,1967 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1946,1967 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 896,742
2 | 896, 742 |
7 | 448, 371 |
64, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 64 x 53 = 47488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/47488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1946/896,1967/742 is 7/47488
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 896,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(896,742) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(896,742) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(896,742) = ( 896 × 742 ) / 14
LCM(896,742) = 664832 / 14
LCM(896,742) = 47488
