Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 204,8880 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 204,8880 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,296
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/22792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/77,8880/296 is 12/22792
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 77,296 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,296) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,296) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,296) = ( 77 × 296 ) / 1
LCM(77,296) = 22792 / 1
LCM(77,296) = 22792
