Lets's calculate GCF of 2126,4000
2 | 2126, 4000 |
1063, 2000 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 2126
:1,2,1063,2126
Now, list down the factors of 4000
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,125,160,200,250,400,500,800,1000,2000,4000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2126,4000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2126,4000 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 687,888
3 | 687, 888 |
229, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 229 x 296 = 203352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/203352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2126/687,4000/888 is 2/203352
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 687,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(687,888) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(687,888) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(687,888) = ( 687 × 888 ) / 3
LCM(687,888) = 610056 / 3
LCM(687,888) = 203352
