Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 974,5503 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 974,5503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,368
2 | 428, 368 |
2 | 214, 184 |
107, 92 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 107 x 92 = 39376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/428,5503/368 is 1/39376
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 428,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,368) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,368) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(428,368) = ( 428 × 368 ) / 4
LCM(428,368) = 157504 / 4
LCM(428,368) = 39376
