Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 119,478 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 119,478 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,844
2 | 24, 844 |
2 | 12, 422 |
6, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 6 x 211 = 5064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 119/24,478/844 is 1/5064
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 24,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,844) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,844) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(24,844) = ( 24 × 844 ) / 4
LCM(24,844) = 20256 / 4
LCM(24,844) = 5064
