Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1832,1640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1832,1640 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,649
11 | 187, 649 |
17, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 17 x 59 = 11033
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/11033
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1832/187,1640/649 is 8/11033
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 187,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,649) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,649) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(187,649) = ( 187 × 649 ) / 11
LCM(187,649) = 121363 / 11
LCM(187,649) = 11033
