Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2972,7386 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2972,7386 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 132,322
2 | 132, 322 |
66, 161 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 66 x 161 = 21252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2972/132,7386/322 is 2/21252
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 132,322 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(132,322) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(132,322) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(132,322) = ( 132 × 322 ) / 2
LCM(132,322) = 42504 / 2
LCM(132,322) = 21252
