Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5117,9939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5117,9939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,308
2 | 76, 308 |
2 | 38, 154 |
19, 77 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 77 = 5852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5117/76,9939/308 is 1/5852
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 76,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,308) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,308) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(76,308) = ( 76 × 308 ) / 4
LCM(76,308) = 23408 / 4
LCM(76,308) = 5852
