:1,2,4,1811,3622,7244
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5312,7244 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5312,7244 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,1000
2 | 162, 1000 |
81, 500 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 81 x 500 = 81000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/81000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5312/162,7244/1000 is 4/81000
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 162,1000 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,1000) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,1000) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(162,1000) = ( 162 × 1000 ) / 2
LCM(162,1000) = 162000 / 2
LCM(162,1000) = 81000
