1,2,3,6,353,706,1059,2118
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9661,2118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9661,2118 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,384
2 | 78, 384 |
3 | 39, 192 |
13, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 13 x 64 = 4992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9661/78,2118/384 is 1/4992
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 78,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,384) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,384) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(78,384) = ( 78 × 384 ) / 6
LCM(78,384) = 29952 / 6
LCM(78,384) = 4992
