1,2,4,11,13,22,26,44,52,143,286,572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 532,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 532,572 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,164
2 | 212, 164 |
2 | 106, 82 |
53, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 41 = 8692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/8692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/212,572/164 is 4/8692
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 212,164 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,164) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,164) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,164) = ( 212 × 164 ) / 4
LCM(212,164) = 34768 / 4
LCM(212,164) = 8692
