Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3615,3358 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3615,3358 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,346
2 | 156, 346 |
78, 173 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 78 x 173 = 26988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3615/156,3358/346 is 1/26988
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 156,346 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,346) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,346) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(156,346) = ( 156 × 346 ) / 2
LCM(156,346) = 53976 / 2
LCM(156,346) = 26988
