Lets's calculate GCF of 152,964
2 | 152, 964 |
2 | 76, 482 |
38, 241 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 152
:1,2,4,8,19,38,76,152
Now, list down the factors of 964
:1,2,4,241,482,964
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 152,964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 152,964 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,938
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 798238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/798238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 152/851,964/938 is 4/798238
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 851,938 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,938) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,938) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,938) = ( 851 × 938 ) / 1
LCM(851,938) = 798238 / 1
LCM(851,938) = 798238
