Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 211,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 211,472 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,316
2 | 972, 316 |
2 | 486, 158 |
243, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 243 x 79 = 76788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 211/972,472/316 is 1/76788
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 972,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,316) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,316) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(972,316) = ( 972 × 316 ) / 4
LCM(972,316) = 307152 / 4
LCM(972,316) = 76788
