:1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Now, list down the factors of 3472
:1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,31,56,62,112,124,217,248,434,496,868,1736,3472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,3472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,3472 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 774,802
2 | 774, 802 |
387, 401 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 387 x 401 = 310374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/310374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/774,3472/802 is 28/310374
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 774,802 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(774,802) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(774,802) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(774,802) = ( 774 × 802 ) / 2
LCM(774,802) = 620748 / 2
LCM(774,802) = 310374
