Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 838,9672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 838,9672 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 363,979
11 | 363, 979 |
33, 89 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 33 x 89 = 32307
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32307
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/363,9672/979 is 2/32307
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 363,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,979) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,979) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(363,979) = ( 363 × 979 ) / 11
LCM(363,979) = 355377 / 11
LCM(363,979) = 32307
