1,23,97,2231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5488,2231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5488,2231 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,456
2 | 32, 456 |
2 | 16, 228 |
2 | 8, 114 |
4, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 57 = 1824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5488/32,2231/456 is 1/1824
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 32,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,456) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,456) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(32,456) = ( 32 × 456 ) / 8
LCM(32,456) = 14592 / 8
LCM(32,456) = 1824
