2 | 54, 42 |
3 | 27, 21 |
9, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
Now, list down the factors of 432
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,27,36,48,54,72,108,144,216,432
Now, list down the factors of 336
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,42,48,56,84,112,168,336
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 432,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 432,336 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,800
2 | 174, 800 |
87, 400 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 87 x 400 = 69600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/69600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 432/174,336/800 is 48/69600
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 174,800 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,800) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,800) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(174,800) = ( 174 × 800 ) / 2
LCM(174,800) = 139200 / 2
LCM(174,800) = 69600
