Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 918,8886 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 918,8886 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,878
2 | 12, 878 |
6, 439 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 439 = 5268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/12,8886/878 is 6/5268
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 12,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,878) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,878) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(12,878) = ( 12 × 878 ) / 2
LCM(12,878) = 10536 / 2
LCM(12,878) = 5268
