Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 553,3688 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 553,3688 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 916,398
2 | 916, 398 |
458, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 458 x 199 = 182284
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/182284
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/916,3688/398 is 1/182284
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 916,398 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(916,398) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(916,398) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(916,398) = ( 916 × 398 ) / 2
LCM(916,398) = 364568 / 2
LCM(916,398) = 182284
