:1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 352,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 352,638 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,740
2 | 18, 740 |
9, 370 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 370 = 6660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/6660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/18,638/740 is 22/6660
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 18,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,740) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,740) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,740) = ( 18 × 740 ) / 2
LCM(18,740) = 13320 / 2
LCM(18,740) = 6660
