Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 181,518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 181,518 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,8838
2 | 68, 8838 |
34, 4419 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 4419 = 300492
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/300492
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 181/68,518/8838 is 1/300492
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 68,8838 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,8838) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,8838) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(68,8838) = ( 68 × 8838 ) / 2
LCM(68,8838) = 600984 / 2
LCM(68,8838) = 300492
