Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 492,7299 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 492,7299 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,144
2 | 82, 144 |
41, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 72 = 5904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/82,7299/144 is 3/5904
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 82,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,144) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,144) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,144) = ( 82 × 144 ) / 2
LCM(82,144) = 11808 / 2
LCM(82,144) = 5904
