Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 217,9734 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 217,9734 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 154,1368
2 | 154, 1368 |
77, 684 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 77 x 684 = 105336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/105336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 217/154,9734/1368 is 31/105336
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 154,1368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(154,1368) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(154,1368) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(154,1368) = ( 154 × 1368 ) / 2
LCM(154,1368) = 210672 / 2
LCM(154,1368) = 105336
