Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 672,196 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 672,196 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 876,836
2 | 876, 836 |
2 | 438, 418 |
219, 209 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 219 x 209 = 183084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/183084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 672/876,196/836 is 28/183084
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 876,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(876,836) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(876,836) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(876,836) = ( 876 × 836 ) / 4
LCM(876,836) = 732336 / 4
LCM(876,836) = 183084
