Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 306,2772 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 306,2772 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 644,362
2 | 644, 362 |
322, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 322 x 181 = 116564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/116564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 306/644,2772/362 is 18/116564
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 644,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(644,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(644,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(644,362) = ( 644 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(644,362) = 233128 / 2
LCM(644,362) = 116564
