1,2,4,8,587,1174,2348,4696
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8542,4696 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8542,4696 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,914
2 | 12, 914 |
6, 457 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 457 = 5484
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5484
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8542/12,4696/914 is 2/5484
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 12,914 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,914) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,914) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,914) = ( 12 × 914 ) / 2
LCM(12,914) = 10968 / 2
LCM(12,914) = 5484
