:1,2,4,61,122,244
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 572,244 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 572,244 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,152
2 | 32, 152 |
2 | 16, 76 |
2 | 8, 38 |
4, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 4 x 19 = 608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/32,244/152 is 4/608
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 32,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,152) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,152) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(32,152) = ( 32 × 152 ) / 8
LCM(32,152) = 4864 / 8
LCM(32,152) = 608
