Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8976,8709 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8976,8709 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,376
2 | 354, 376 |
177, 188 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 177 x 188 = 66552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/66552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8976/354,8709/376 is 3/66552
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 354,376 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,376) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,376) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(354,376) = ( 354 × 376 ) / 2
LCM(354,376) = 133104 / 2
LCM(354,376) = 66552
