:1,2,73,146
Now, list down the factors of 438
:1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,438 is 146.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,649
11 | 66, 649 |
6, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 6 x 59 = 3894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 146/3894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/66,438/649 is 146/3894
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 66,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,649) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,649) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(66,649) = ( 66 × 649 ) / 11
LCM(66,649) = 42834 / 11
LCM(66,649) = 3894
