Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5174,7147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5174,7147 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 118,816
2 | 118, 816 |
59, 408 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 408 = 48144
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/48144
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5174/118,7147/816 is 1/48144
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 118,816 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(118,816) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(118,816) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(118,816) = ( 118 × 816 ) / 2
LCM(118,816) = 96288 / 2
LCM(118,816) = 48144
