Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 216,162 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 216,162 is 54.
Lets's calculate LCM of 940,815
5 | 940, 815 |
188, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 188 x 163 = 153220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 54/153220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/940,162/815 is 54/153220
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 940,815 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(940,815) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(940,815) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(940,815) = ( 940 × 815 ) / 5
LCM(940,815) = 766100 / 5
LCM(940,815) = 153220
