Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3757,1216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3757,1216 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,996
2 | 402, 996 |
3 | 201, 498 |
67, 166 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 67 x 166 = 66732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/66732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3757/402,1216/996 is 1/66732
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 402,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,996) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,996) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(402,996) = ( 402 × 996 ) / 6
LCM(402,996) = 400392 / 6
LCM(402,996) = 66732
