1,2,4,73,146,292
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 836,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 836,292 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 414,174
2 | 414, 174 |
3 | 207, 87 |
69, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 69 x 29 = 12006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/12006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 836/414,292/174 is 4/12006
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 414,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(414,174) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(414,174) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(414,174) = ( 414 × 174 ) / 6
LCM(414,174) = 72036 / 6
LCM(414,174) = 12006
