Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 323,1178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 323,1178 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,488
2 | 66, 488 |
33, 244 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 33 x 244 = 16104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/16104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 323/66,1178/488 is 19/16104
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 66,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,488) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,488) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(66,488) = ( 66 × 488 ) / 2
LCM(66,488) = 32208 / 2
LCM(66,488) = 16104
