Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2318,9955 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2318,9955 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,168
2 | 44, 168 |
2 | 22, 84 |
11, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 42 = 1848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2318/44,9955/168 is 1/1848
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 44,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,168) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,168) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(44,168) = ( 44 × 168 ) / 4
LCM(44,168) = 7392 / 4
LCM(44,168) = 1848
