Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5881,2504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5881,2504 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,472
2 | 334, 472 |
167, 236 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 167 x 236 = 78824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5881/334,2504/472 is 1/78824
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 334,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,472) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,472) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(334,472) = ( 334 × 472 ) / 2
LCM(334,472) = 157648 / 2
LCM(334,472) = 78824
