:1,5,29,145
Now, list down the factors of 474
:1,2,3,6,79,158,237,474
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 145,474 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 145,474 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,312
3 | 69, 312 |
23, 104 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 23 x 104 = 7176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 145/69,474/312 is 1/7176
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 69,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,312) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,312) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(69,312) = ( 69 × 312 ) / 3
LCM(69,312) = 21528 / 3
LCM(69,312) = 7176
