Lets's calculate GCF of 252,432
2 | 252, 432 |
2 | 126, 216 |
3 | 63, 108 |
3 | 21, 36 |
7, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36
Now, list down the factors of 252
:1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,63,84,126,252
Now, list down the factors of 432
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,36,48,54,72,108,144,216,432
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 252,432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 252,432 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/52126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/67,432/778 is 36/52126
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 67,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,778) = ( 67 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(67,778) = 52126 / 1
LCM(67,778) = 52126
