Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 182,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 182,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 376,702
2 | 376, 702 |
188, 351 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 188 x 351 = 131976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/131976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/376,159/702 is 1/131976
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 376,702 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(376,702) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(376,702) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(376,702) = ( 376 × 702 ) / 2
LCM(376,702) = 263952 / 2
LCM(376,702) = 131976
