Lets's calculate GCF of 772,512
2 | 772, 512 |
2 | 386, 256 |
193, 128 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Now, list down the factors of 772
:1,2,4,193,386,772
Now, list down the factors of 512
:1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 772,512 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 772,512 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,294
2 | 24, 294 |
3 | 12, 147 |
4, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 4 x 49 = 1176
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1176
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 772/24,512/294 is 4/1176
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 24,294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,294) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,294) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(24,294) = ( 24 × 294 ) / 6
LCM(24,294) = 7056 / 6
LCM(24,294) = 1176
