Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7186,4084 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7186,4084 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,336
2 | 164, 336 |
2 | 82, 168 |
41, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 41 x 84 = 13776
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13776
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7186/164,4084/336 is 2/13776
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 164,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,336) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,336) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(164,336) = ( 164 × 336 ) / 4
LCM(164,336) = 55104 / 4
LCM(164,336) = 13776
