1,5,239,1195
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3340,1195 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3340,1195 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,438
2 | 96, 438 |
3 | 48, 219 |
16, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 16 x 73 = 7008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/7008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3340/96,1195/438 is 5/7008
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 96,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,438) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,438) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(96,438) = ( 96 × 438 ) / 6
LCM(96,438) = 42048 / 6
LCM(96,438) = 7008
