Lets's calculate GCF of 174,356
2 | 174, 356 |
87, 178 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 174
:1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Now, list down the factors of 356
:1,2,4,89,178,356
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 174,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 174,356 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,4137
7 | 91, 4137 |
13, 591 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 13 x 591 = 53781
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/53781
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 174/91,356/4137 is 2/53781
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 91,4137 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,4137) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,4137) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(91,4137) = ( 91 × 4137 ) / 7
LCM(91,4137) = 376467 / 7
LCM(91,4137) = 53781
