Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 388,1620 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 388,1620 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,999
3 | 318, 999 |
106, 333 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 106 x 333 = 105894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/105894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 388/318,1620/999 is 4/105894
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 318,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,999) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,999) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(318,999) = ( 318 × 999 ) / 3
LCM(318,999) = 317682 / 3
LCM(318,999) = 105894
