Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 334,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 334,501 is 167.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,636
2 | 96, 636 |
2 | 48, 318 |
3 | 24, 159 |
8, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 8 x 53 = 5088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 167/5088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 334/96,501/636 is 167/5088
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 96,636 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,636) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,636) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(96,636) = ( 96 × 636 ) / 12
LCM(96,636) = 61056 / 12
LCM(96,636) = 5088
