:1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 102,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 102,172 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,444
2 | 96, 444 |
2 | 48, 222 |
3 | 24, 111 |
8, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 8 x 37 = 3552
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3552
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 102/96,172/444 is 2/3552
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 96,444 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,444) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,444) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(96,444) = ( 96 × 444 ) / 12
LCM(96,444) = 42624 / 12
LCM(96,444) = 3552
