Lets's calculate GCF of 184,932
2 | 184, 932 |
2 | 92, 466 |
46, 233 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 184
:1,2,4,8,23,46,92,184
Now, list down the factors of 932
:1,2,4,233,466,932
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 184,932 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 184,932 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268888
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/268888
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 184/551,932/488 is 4/268888
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 551,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,488) = ( 551 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(551,488) = 268888 / 1
LCM(551,488) = 268888
