Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3586,3936 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3586,3936 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 672,554
2 | 672, 554 |
336, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 336 x 277 = 186144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/186144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3586/672,3936/554 is 2/186144
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 672,554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(672,554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(672,554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(672,554) = ( 672 × 554 ) / 2
LCM(672,554) = 372288 / 2
LCM(672,554) = 186144
