Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 435,1551 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 435,1551 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,908
2 | 362, 908 |
181, 454 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 454 = 164348
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/164348
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 435/362,1551/908 is 3/164348
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 362,908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,908) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,908) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,908) = ( 362 × 908 ) / 2
LCM(362,908) = 328696 / 2
LCM(362,908) = 164348
