Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 966,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 966,336 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 92,458
2 | 92, 458 |
46, 229 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 46 x 229 = 21068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/21068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 966/92,336/458 is 42/21068
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 92,458 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(92,458) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(92,458) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(92,458) = ( 92 × 458 ) / 2
LCM(92,458) = 42136 / 2
LCM(92,458) = 21068
