:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 624,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 624,144 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,598
2 | 24, 598 |
12, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 12 x 299 = 7176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/7176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 624/24,144/598 is 48/7176
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 24,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(24,598) = ( 24 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(24,598) = 14352 / 2
LCM(24,598) = 7176
