Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7983,2782 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7983,2782 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,224
2 | 254, 224 |
127, 112 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 127 x 112 = 28448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7983/254,2782/224 is 1/28448
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 254,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,224) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,224) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(254,224) = ( 254 × 224 ) / 2
LCM(254,224) = 56896 / 2
LCM(254,224) = 28448
