Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 897,174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 897,174 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 351,132
3 | 351, 132 |
117, 44 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 117 x 44 = 15444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/351,174/132 is 3/15444
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 351,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(351,132) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(351,132) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(351,132) = ( 351 × 132 ) / 3
LCM(351,132) = 46332 / 3
LCM(351,132) = 15444
