Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,553 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,553 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,124
2 | 16, 124 |
2 | 8, 62 |
4, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 31 = 496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/16,553/124 is 1/496
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 16,124 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,124) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,124) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(16,124) = ( 16 × 124 ) / 4
LCM(16,124) = 1984 / 4
LCM(16,124) = 496
