:1,2,41,82,1681,3362
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3400,3362 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3400,3362 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,604
| 2 | 78, 604 |
| 39, 302 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 302 = 23556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3400/78,3362/604 is 2/23556
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 78,604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,604) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,604) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,604) = ( 78 × 604 ) / 2
LCM(78,604) = 47112 / 2
LCM(78,604) = 23556
