Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,562 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,128
2 | 996, 128 |
2 | 498, 64 |
249, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 249 x 32 = 31872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/996,562/128 is 1/31872
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 996,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,128) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,128) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(996,128) = ( 996 × 128 ) / 4
LCM(996,128) = 127488 / 4
LCM(996,128) = 31872
