We found the factors 112,372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 112,372 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 865,995
5 | 865, 995 |
173, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 173 x 199 = 172135
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/172135
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 112/865,372/995 is 4/172135
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 865,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(865,995) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(865,995) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(865,995) = ( 865 × 995 ) / 5
LCM(865,995) = 860675 / 5
LCM(865,995) = 172135
