1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 912,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 912,556 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,1840
2 | 32, 1840 |
2 | 16, 920 |
2 | 8, 460 |
2 | 4, 230 |
2, 115 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 115 = 3680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 912/32,556/1840 is 4/3680
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 32,1840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,1840) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,1840) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(32,1840) = ( 32 × 1840 ) / 16
LCM(32,1840) = 58880 / 16
LCM(32,1840) = 3680
