Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 392,896 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 392,896 is 56.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,132
2 | 400, 132 |
2 | 200, 66 |
100, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 100 x 33 = 13200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 56/13200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 392/400,896/132 is 56/13200
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 400,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,132) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,132) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(400,132) = ( 400 × 132 ) / 4
LCM(400,132) = 52800 / 4
LCM(400,132) = 13200
