1,2,4,8,373,746,1492,2984
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5715,2984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5715,2984 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,992
2 | 78, 992 |
39, 496 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 496 = 38688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5715/78,2984/992 is 1/38688
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 78,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,992) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,992) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,992) = ( 78 × 992 ) / 2
LCM(78,992) = 77376 / 2
LCM(78,992) = 38688
