Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 448,212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 448,212 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 945,973
7 | 945, 973 |
135, 139 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 135 x 139 = 131355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/131355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/945,212/973 is 4/131355
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 945,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(945,973) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(945,973) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(945,973) = ( 945 × 973 ) / 7
LCM(945,973) = 919485 / 7
LCM(945,973) = 131355
