Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 225,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 225,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 946,407
11 | 946, 407 |
86, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 86 x 37 = 35002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 225/946,172/407 is 1/35002
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 946,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(946,407) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(946,407) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(946,407) = ( 946 × 407 ) / 11
LCM(946,407) = 385022 / 11
LCM(946,407) = 35002
