Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7200,9682 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7200,9682 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 162,232
2 | 162, 232 |
81, 116 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 81 x 116 = 18792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7200/162,9682/232 is 2/18792
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 162,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(162,232) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(162,232) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(162,232) = ( 162 × 232 ) / 2
LCM(162,232) = 37584 / 2
LCM(162,232) = 18792
