Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 944,3939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 944,3939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,400
2 | 318, 400 |
159, 200 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 159 x 200 = 63600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/318,3939/400 is 1/63600
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 318,400 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,400) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,400) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(318,400) = ( 318 × 400 ) / 2
LCM(318,400) = 127200 / 2
LCM(318,400) = 63600
