:1,3,5,15,59,177,295,885
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 465,885 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 465,885 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,152
2 | 84, 152 |
2 | 42, 76 |
21, 38 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 21 x 38 = 3192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/3192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 465/84,885/152 is 15/3192
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 84,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,152) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,152) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(84,152) = ( 84 × 152 ) / 4
LCM(84,152) = 12768 / 4
LCM(84,152) = 3192
