Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 128,301 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 128,301 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 872,466
2 | 872, 466 |
436, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 436 x 233 = 203176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/872,301/466 is 1/203176
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 872,466 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(872,466) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(872,466) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(872,466) = ( 872 × 466 ) / 2
LCM(872,466) = 406352 / 2
LCM(872,466) = 203176
