Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3682,1964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3682,1964 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 848,684
2 | 848, 684 |
2 | 424, 342 |
212, 171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 212 x 171 = 145008
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/145008
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3682/848,1964/684 is 2/145008
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 848,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(848,684) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(848,684) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(848,684) = ( 848 × 684 ) / 4
LCM(848,684) = 580032 / 4
LCM(848,684) = 145008
