Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7200,1917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7200,1917 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 454,432
2 | 454, 432 |
227, 216 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 227 x 216 = 98064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/98064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7200/454,1917/432 is 9/98064
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 454,432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(454,432) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(454,432) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(454,432) = ( 454 × 432 ) / 2
LCM(454,432) = 196128 / 2
LCM(454,432) = 98064
