Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7038,1052 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7038,1052 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 153,884
17 | 153, 884 |
9, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 9 x 52 = 7956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7038/153,1052/884 is 2/7956
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 153,884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,884) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,884) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(153,884) = ( 153 × 884 ) / 17
LCM(153,884) = 135252 / 17
LCM(153,884) = 7956
