Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4216,8453 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4216,8453 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,186
2 | 972, 186 |
3 | 486, 93 |
162, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 162 x 31 = 30132
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30132
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4216/972,8453/186 is 1/30132
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 972,186 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,186) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,186) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(972,186) = ( 972 × 186 ) / 6
LCM(972,186) = 180792 / 6
LCM(972,186) = 30132
