1,2,11,22,191,382,2101,4202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,4202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,4202 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 900,388
2 | 900, 388 |
2 | 450, 194 |
225, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 225 x 97 = 87300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/900,4202/388 is 2/87300
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 900,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(900,388) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(900,388) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(900,388) = ( 900 × 388 ) / 4
LCM(900,388) = 349200 / 4
LCM(900,388) = 87300
