Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,732 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,732 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/15196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/29,732/524 is 4/15196
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 29,524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,524) = ( 29 × 524 ) / 1
LCM(29,524) = 15196 / 1
LCM(29,524) = 15196
