Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6516,3564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6516,3564 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 862,176
2 | 862, 176 |
431, 88 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 431 x 88 = 75856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/75856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6516/862,3564/176 is 36/75856
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 862,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(862,176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(862,176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(862,176) = ( 862 × 176 ) / 2
LCM(862,176) = 151712 / 2
LCM(862,176) = 75856
