Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 384,6842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 384,6842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 897,5096
13 | 897, 5096 |
69, 392 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 69 x 392 = 351624
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/351624
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/897,6842/5096 is 2/351624
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 897,5096 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,5096) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,5096) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(897,5096) = ( 897 × 5096 ) / 13
LCM(897,5096) = 4571112 / 13
LCM(897,5096) = 351624
