Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5493,8796 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5493,8796 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,234
2 | 96, 234 |
3 | 48, 117 |
16, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 16 x 39 = 3744
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3744
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5493/96,8796/234 is 3/3744
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 96,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,234) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,234) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(96,234) = ( 96 × 234 ) / 6
LCM(96,234) = 22464 / 6
LCM(96,234) = 3744
