Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 787,9666 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 787,9666 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 900,224
2 | 900, 224 |
2 | 450, 112 |
225, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 225 x 56 = 50400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 787/900,9666/224 is 1/50400
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 900,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(900,224) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(900,224) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(900,224) = ( 900 × 224 ) / 4
LCM(900,224) = 201600 / 4
LCM(900,224) = 50400
