Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 337,4179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 337,4179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,336
2 | 78, 336 |
3 | 39, 168 |
13, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 56 = 4368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/78,4179/336 is 1/4368
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 78,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,336) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,336) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(78,336) = ( 78 × 336 ) / 6
LCM(78,336) = 26208 / 6
LCM(78,336) = 4368
