Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 874,5686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 874,5686 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,996
2 | 228, 996 |
2 | 114, 498 |
3 | 57, 249 |
19, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 83 = 18924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/228,5686/996 is 2/18924
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 228,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,996) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,996) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(228,996) = ( 228 × 996 ) / 12
LCM(228,996) = 227088 / 12
LCM(228,996) = 18924
