Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 424,637 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 424,637 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,334
2 | 252, 334 |
126, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 126 x 167 = 42084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 424/252,637/334 is 1/42084
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 252,334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,334) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,334) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(252,334) = ( 252 × 334 ) / 2
LCM(252,334) = 84168 / 2
LCM(252,334) = 42084
