:1,2,4,7,8,14,17,28,34,56,68,119,136,238,476,952
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 408,952 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 408,952 is 136.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,741
3 | 51, 741 |
17, 247 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 247 = 12597
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 136/12597
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/51,952/741 is 136/12597
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 51,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,741) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,741) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,741) = ( 51 × 741 ) / 3
LCM(51,741) = 37791 / 3
LCM(51,741) = 12597
