Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,424 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 266,842
2 | 266, 842 |
133, 421 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 133 x 421 = 111986
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111986
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/266,424/842 is 1/111986
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 266,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(266,842) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(266,842) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(266,842) = ( 266 × 842 ) / 2
LCM(266,842) = 223972 / 2
LCM(266,842) = 111986
