Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 342,227 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 342,227 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2272,1752
2 | 2272, 1752 |
2 | 1136, 876 |
2 | 568, 438 |
284, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 284 x 219 = 497568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/497568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/2272,227/1752 is 1/497568
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 2272,1752 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2272,1752) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2272,1752) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(2272,1752) = ( 2272 × 1752 ) / 8
LCM(2272,1752) = 3980544 / 8
LCM(2272,1752) = 497568
