We found the factors 1494,8632 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1494,8632 is 166.
Lets's calculate LCM of 902,216
2 | 902, 216 |
451, 108 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 451 x 108 = 97416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 166/97416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1494/902,8632/216 is 166/97416
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 902,216 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(902,216) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(902,216) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(902,216) = ( 902 × 216 ) / 2
LCM(902,216) = 194832 / 2
LCM(902,216) = 97416
