Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,4944 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,4944 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,274
2 | 82, 274 |
41, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 41 x 137 = 11234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/82,4944/274 is 2/11234
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 82,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,274) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,274) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(82,274) = ( 82 × 274 ) / 2
LCM(82,274) = 22468 / 2
LCM(82,274) = 11234
