Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 889,952 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 889,952 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 374,363
11 | 374, 363 |
34, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 34 x 33 = 12342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/12342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 889/374,952/363 is 7/12342
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 374,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(374,363) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(374,363) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(374,363) = ( 374 × 363 ) / 11
LCM(374,363) = 135762 / 11
LCM(374,363) = 12342
