3 | 111, 888 |
37 | 37, 296 |
1, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 37 = 111
Now, list down the factors of 111
:1,3,37,111
Now, list down the factors of 888
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,37,74,111,148,222,296,444,888
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 111,888 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 111,888 is 111.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,748
11 | 55, 748 |
5, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 5 x 68 = 3740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 111/3740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 111/55,888/748 is 111/3740
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 55,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,748) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,748) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(55,748) = ( 55 × 748 ) / 11
LCM(55,748) = 41140 / 11
LCM(55,748) = 3740
