Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 727,1993 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 727,1993 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 112,438
2 | 112, 438 |
56, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 56 x 219 = 24528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 727/112,1993/438 is 1/24528
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 112,438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(112,438) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(112,438) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(112,438) = ( 112 × 438 ) / 2
LCM(112,438) = 49056 / 2
LCM(112,438) = 24528
