Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 195,388 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 195,388 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,764
2 | 40, 764 |
2 | 20, 382 |
10, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 191 = 7640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 195/40,388/764 is 1/7640
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 40,764 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,764) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,764) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,764) = ( 40 × 764 ) / 4
LCM(40,764) = 30560 / 4
LCM(40,764) = 7640
