Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2600,7418 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2600,7418 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,372
| 2 | 362, 372 |
| 181, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 181 x 186 = 67332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/67332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2600/362,7418/372 is 2/67332
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 362,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(362,372) = ( 362 × 372 ) / 2
LCM(362,372) = 134664 / 2
LCM(362,372) = 67332
