Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 395,9950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 395,9950 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,146
2 | 84, 146 |
42, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 42 x 73 = 6132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/6132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 395/84,9950/146 is 5/6132
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 84,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,146) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(84,146) = ( 84 × 146 ) / 2
LCM(84,146) = 12264 / 2
LCM(84,146) = 6132
