Now, list down the factors of 259
:1,7,37,259
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 514,259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 514,259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,844
2 | 76, 844 |
2 | 38, 422 |
19, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 211 = 16036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 514/76,259/844 is 1/16036
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 76,844 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,844) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,844) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(76,844) = ( 76 × 844 ) / 4
LCM(76,844) = 64144 / 4
LCM(76,844) = 16036
