Lets's calculate GCF of 48,24
2 | 48, 24 |
2 | 24, 12 |
2 | 6, 12 |
3 | 3, 6 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
Now, list down the factors of 48
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Now, list down the factors of 24
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,24 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,24 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 434,4712
2 | 434, 4712 |
31 | 217, 2356 |
7, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 7 x 76 = 32984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/32984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/434,24/4712 is 24/32984
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 434,4712 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(434,4712) = 62
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(434,4712) x common factors =62 x 1 = 62
LCM(434,4712) = ( 434 × 4712 ) / 62
LCM(434,4712) = 2045008 / 62
LCM(434,4712) = 32984
