Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3136,8448 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3136,8448 is 64.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 64/142136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3136/163,8448/872 is 64/142136
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 163,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,872) = ( 163 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(163,872) = 142136 / 1
LCM(163,872) = 142136
