Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8724,4857 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8724,4857 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 234,174
2 | 234, 174 |
3 | 117, 87 |
39, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 39 x 29 = 6786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8724/234,4857/174 is 3/6786
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 234,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(234,174) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(234,174) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(234,174) = ( 234 × 174 ) / 6
LCM(234,174) = 40716 / 6
LCM(234,174) = 6786
