Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7966,8500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7966,8500 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,184
2 | 428, 184 |
2 | 214, 92 |
107, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 107 x 46 = 19688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7966/428,8500/184 is 2/19688
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 428,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,184) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,184) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(428,184) = ( 428 × 184 ) / 4
LCM(428,184) = 78752 / 4
LCM(428,184) = 19688
