Lets's calculate GCF of 326,874
2 | 326, 874 |
163, 437 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 326
:1,2,163,326
Now, list down the factors of 874
:1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 326,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 326,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/20768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 326/32,874/649 is 2/20768
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 32,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,649) = ( 32 × 649 ) / 1
LCM(32,649) = 20768 / 1
LCM(32,649) = 20768
