:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48,163,326,489,652,978,1304,1956,2608,3912,7824
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6984,7824 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6984,7824 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 430,218
2 | 430, 218 |
215, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 215 x 109 = 46870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/46870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6984/430,7824/218 is 24/46870
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 430,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(430,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(430,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(430,218) = ( 430 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(430,218) = 93740 / 2
LCM(430,218) = 46870
