:1,2,4,8,11,16,22,32,44,88,176,352
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 319,352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 319,352 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,554
2 | 72, 554 |
36, 277 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 36 x 277 = 19944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/19944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 319/72,352/554 is 11/19944
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 72,554 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,554) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,554) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(72,554) = ( 72 × 554 ) / 2
LCM(72,554) = 39888 / 2
LCM(72,554) = 19944
