Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,4368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,4368 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,864
2 | 214, 864 |
107, 432 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 432 = 92448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/92448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/214,4368/864 is 48/92448
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 214,864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,864) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,864) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,864) = ( 214 × 864 ) / 2
LCM(214,864) = 184896 / 2
LCM(214,864) = 92448
