1,11,337,3707
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 352,3707 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 352,3707 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,400
2 | 952, 400 |
2 | 476, 200 |
2 | 238, 100 |
119, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 119 x 50 = 47600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/47600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/952,3707/400 is 11/47600
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 952,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,400) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,400) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(952,400) = ( 952 × 400 ) / 8
LCM(952,400) = 380800 / 8
LCM(952,400) = 47600
