1,2,29,58,71,142,2059,4118
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3109,4118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3109,4118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,536
2 | 36, 536 |
2 | 18, 268 |
9, 134 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 9 x 134 = 4824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3109/36,4118/536 is 1/4824
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 36,536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,536) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,536) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(36,536) = ( 36 × 536 ) / 4
LCM(36,536) = 19296 / 4
LCM(36,536) = 4824
