Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1608,1487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1608,1487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 354,776
2 | 354, 776 |
177, 388 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 177 x 388 = 137352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/137352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1608/354,1487/776 is 1/137352
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 354,776 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(354,776) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(354,776) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(354,776) = ( 354 × 776 ) / 2
LCM(354,776) = 274704 / 2
LCM(354,776) = 137352
