Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 65,12 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 65,12 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 838,396
2 | 838, 396 |
419, 198 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 419 x 198 = 165924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 65/838,12/396 is 1/165924
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 838,396 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(838,396) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(838,396) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(838,396) = ( 838 × 396 ) / 2
LCM(838,396) = 331848 / 2
LCM(838,396) = 165924
