1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 396,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 396,144 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 364,468
2 | 364, 468 |
2 | 182, 234 |
13 | 91, 117 |
7, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 13 x 7 x 9 = 3276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/3276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 396/364,144/468 is 36/3276
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 364,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(364,468) = 52
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(364,468) x common factors =52 x 1 = 52
LCM(364,468) = ( 364 × 468 ) / 52
LCM(364,468) = 170352 / 52
LCM(364,468) = 3276
