:1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,874 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,848
| 2 | 404, 848 |
| 2 | 202, 424 |
| 101, 212 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 101 x 212 = 85648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/85648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/404,874/848 is 23/85648
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 404,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,848) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,848) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(404,848) = ( 404 × 848 ) / 4
LCM(404,848) = 342592 / 4
LCM(404,848) = 85648
