Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3932,1598 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3932,1598 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,362
2 | 58, 362 |
29, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 181 = 10498
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10498
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3932/58,1598/362 is 2/10498
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 58,362 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,362) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,362) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,362) = ( 58 × 362 ) / 2
LCM(58,362) = 20996 / 2
LCM(58,362) = 10498
