Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 866,4968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 866,4968 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,168
2 | 556, 168 |
2 | 278, 84 |
139, 42 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 139 x 42 = 23352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/556,4968/168 is 2/23352
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 556,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,168) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,168) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(556,168) = ( 556 × 168 ) / 4
LCM(556,168) = 93408 / 4
LCM(556,168) = 23352
