Now, list down the factors of 9432
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72,131,262,393,524,786,1048,1179,1572,2358,3144,4716,9432
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5182,9432 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5182,9432 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,1966
2 | 974, 1966 |
487, 983 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 487 x 983 = 957442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/957442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5182/974,9432/1966 is 2/957442
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 974,1966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,1966) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,1966) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(974,1966) = ( 974 × 1966 ) / 2
LCM(974,1966) = 1914884 / 2
LCM(974,1966) = 957442
