Lets's calculate GCF of 292,424
2 | 292, 424 |
2 | 146, 212 |
73, 106 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 292
:1,2,4,73,146,292
Now, list down the factors of 424
:1,2,4,8,53,106,212,424
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 292,424 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 292,424 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,960
2 | 86, 960 |
43, 480 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 480 = 41280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/41280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 292/86,424/960 is 4/41280
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 86,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,960) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,960) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(86,960) = ( 86 × 960 ) / 2
LCM(86,960) = 82560 / 2
LCM(86,960) = 41280
