We found the factors 682,234 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 682,234 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,176
2 | 78, 176 |
39, 88 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 39 x 88 = 6864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 682/78,234/176 is 2/6864
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 78,176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,176) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,176) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(78,176) = ( 78 × 176 ) / 2
LCM(78,176) = 13728 / 2
LCM(78,176) = 6864
