Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 951,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 951,336 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,768
3 | 177, 768 |
59, 256 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 256 = 45312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 951/177,336/768 is 3/45312
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 177,768 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,768) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,768) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(177,768) = ( 177 × 768 ) / 3
LCM(177,768) = 135936 / 3
LCM(177,768) = 45312
