2 | 76, 16 |
2 | 38, 8 |
19, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 76
:1,2,4,19,38,76
Now, list down the factors of 16
:1,2,4,8,16
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 76,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 76,16 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 793,1586
13 | 793, 1586 |
61 | 61, 122 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 61 x 1 x 2 = 1586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 76/793,16/1586 is 4/1586
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 793,1586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(793,1586) = 793
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(793,1586) x common factors =793 x 1 = 793
LCM(793,1586) = ( 793 × 1586 ) / 793
LCM(793,1586) = 1257698 / 793
LCM(793,1586) = 1586
