1,7,1171,8197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 203,8197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 203,8197 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,294
2 | 632, 294 |
316, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 316 x 147 = 92904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/92904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/632,8197/294 is 7/92904
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 632,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,294) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,294) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(632,294) = ( 632 × 294 ) / 2
LCM(632,294) = 185808 / 2
LCM(632,294) = 92904
