Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2098,9844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2098,9844 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,2021
43 | 172, 2021 |
4, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 43 x 4 x 47 = 8084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2098/172,9844/2021 is 2/8084
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 172,2021 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,2021) = 43
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,2021) x common factors =43 x 1 = 43
LCM(172,2021) = ( 172 × 2021 ) / 43
LCM(172,2021) = 347612 / 43
LCM(172,2021) = 8084
