Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 506,7920 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 506,7920 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 909,144
3 | 909, 144 |
3 | 303, 48 |
101, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 101 x 16 = 14544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/14544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 506/909,7920/144 is 22/14544
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 909,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(909,144) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(909,144) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(909,144) = ( 909 × 144 ) / 9
LCM(909,144) = 130896 / 9
LCM(909,144) = 14544
