:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,47,84,94,141,188,282,329,564,658,987,1316,1974,3948
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6238,3948 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6238,3948 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 826,3952
2 | 826, 3952 |
413, 1976 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 413 x 1976 = 1632176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1632176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6238/826,3948/3952 is 2/1632176
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 826,3952 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(826,3952) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(826,3952) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(826,3952) = ( 826 × 3952 ) / 2
LCM(826,3952) = 3264352 / 2
LCM(826,3952) = 1632176
