Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2596,5406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2596,5406 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 238,9096
2 | 238, 9096 |
119, 4548 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 119 x 4548 = 1082424
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1082424
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2596/238,5406/9096 is 2/1082424
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 238,9096 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(238,9096) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(238,9096) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(238,9096) = ( 238 × 9096 ) / 2
LCM(238,9096) = 2164848 / 2
LCM(238,9096) = 1082424
