Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 552,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 552,996 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,8026
2 | 34, 8026 |
17, 4013 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 4013 = 136442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/136442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/34,996/8026 is 12/136442
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 34,8026 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,8026) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,8026) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,8026) = ( 34 × 8026 ) / 2
LCM(34,8026) = 272884 / 2
LCM(34,8026) = 136442
