Lets's calculate GCF of 667,184
23 | 667, 184 |
29, 8 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23
Now, list down the factors of 667
:1,23,29,667
Now, list down the factors of 184
:1,2,4,8,23,46,92,184
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 667,184 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 667,184 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12614
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/12614
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 667/17,184/742 is 23/12614
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 17,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,742) = ( 17 × 742 ) / 1
LCM(17,742) = 12614 / 1
LCM(17,742) = 12614
