:1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 324,592
2 | 324, 592 |
2 | 162, 296 |
81, 148 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 81 x 148 = 47952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/324,721/592 is 1/47952
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 324,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(324,592) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(324,592) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(324,592) = ( 324 × 592 ) / 4
LCM(324,592) = 191808 / 4
LCM(324,592) = 47952
