1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 304,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 304,656 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,8118
2 | 16, 8118 |
8, 4059 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 4059 = 64944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/64944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/16,656/8118 is 16/64944
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 16,8118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,8118) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,8118) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(16,8118) = ( 16 × 8118 ) / 2
LCM(16,8118) = 129888 / 2
LCM(16,8118) = 64944
