1,8467
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3203,8467 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3203,8467 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 852,278
2 | 852, 278 |
426, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 426 x 139 = 118428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3203/852,8467/278 is 1/118428
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 852,278 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(852,278) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(852,278) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(852,278) = ( 852 × 278 ) / 2
LCM(852,278) = 236856 / 2
LCM(852,278) = 118428
