Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8172,9816 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8172,9816 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 511,290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/148190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8172/511,9816/290 is 12/148190
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 511,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(511,290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(511,290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(511,290) = ( 511 × 290 ) / 1
LCM(511,290) = 148190 / 1
LCM(511,290) = 148190
