Lets's calculate GCF of 166,976
2 | 166, 976 |
83, 488 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 166
:1,2,83,166
Now, list down the factors of 976
:1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,976 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,919
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/18,976/919 is 2/16542
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 18,919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,919) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,919) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,919) = ( 18 × 919 ) / 1
LCM(18,919) = 16542 / 1
LCM(18,919) = 16542
