Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2116,4010 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2116,4010 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,462
2 | 474, 462 |
3 | 237, 231 |
79, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 79 x 77 = 36498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2116/474,4010/462 is 2/36498
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 474,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,462) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,462) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(474,462) = ( 474 × 462 ) / 6
LCM(474,462) = 218988 / 6
LCM(474,462) = 36498
