We found the factors 350,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 350,800 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 836,228
2 | 836, 228 |
2 | 418, 114 |
19 | 209, 57 |
11, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 11 x 3 = 2508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/2508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 350/836,800/228 is 50/2508
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 836,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(836,228) = 76
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(836,228) x common factors =76 x 1 = 76
LCM(836,228) = ( 836 × 228 ) / 76
LCM(836,228) = 190608 / 76
LCM(836,228) = 2508
