:1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,25,30,40,48,50,60,75,80,100,120,150,200,240,300,400,600,1200
Now, list down the factors of 7104
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,37,48,64,74,96,111,148,192,222,296,444,592,888,1184,1776,2368,3552,7104
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1200,7104 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1200,7104 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,516
3 | 831, 516 |
277, 172 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 277 x 172 = 142932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/142932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1200/831,7104/516 is 48/142932
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 831,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,516) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,516) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(831,516) = ( 831 × 516 ) / 3
LCM(831,516) = 428796 / 3
LCM(831,516) = 142932
