Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5877,8634 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5877,8634 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,192
2 | 500, 192 |
2 | 250, 96 |
125, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 125 x 48 = 24000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/24000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5877/500,8634/192 is 3/24000
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 500,192 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,192) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,192) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(500,192) = ( 500 × 192 ) / 4
LCM(500,192) = 96000 / 4
LCM(500,192) = 24000
