Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 989,6509 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 989,6509 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,872
2 | 748, 872 |
2 | 374, 436 |
187, 218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 187 x 218 = 163064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/163064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 989/748,6509/872 is 23/163064
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 748,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,872) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,872) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(748,872) = ( 748 × 872 ) / 4
LCM(748,872) = 652256 / 4
LCM(748,872) = 163064
