:1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 483,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 483,987 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 404,184
2 | 404, 184 |
2 | 202, 92 |
101, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 101 x 46 = 18584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/18584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 483/404,987/184 is 21/18584
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 404,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,184) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,184) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(404,184) = ( 404 × 184 ) / 4
LCM(404,184) = 74336 / 4
LCM(404,184) = 18584
