Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5328,6864 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5328,6864 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 286,299
13 | 286, 299 |
22, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 22 x 23 = 6578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/6578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5328/286,6864/299 is 48/6578
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 286,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(286,299) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(286,299) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(286,299) = ( 286 × 299 ) / 13
LCM(286,299) = 85514 / 13
LCM(286,299) = 6578
