:1,2,4,7,14,19,28,38,76,133,266,532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 220,532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 220,532 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,426
3 | 15, 426 |
5, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 142 = 2130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 220/15,532/426 is 4/2130
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 15,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,426) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,426) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,426) = ( 15 × 426 ) / 3
LCM(15,426) = 6390 / 3
LCM(15,426) = 2130
