Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 571,8722 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 571,8722 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,384
2 | 978, 384 |
3 | 489, 192 |
163, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 163 x 64 = 62592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 571/978,8722/384 is 1/62592
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 978,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,384) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,384) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(978,384) = ( 978 × 384 ) / 6
LCM(978,384) = 375552 / 6
LCM(978,384) = 62592
