Now, list down the factors of 792
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,18,22,24,33,36,44,66,72,88,99,132,198,264,396,792
Now, list down the factors of 276
:1,2,3,4,6,12,23,46,69,92,138,276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 792,276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 792,276 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,564
2 | 42, 564 |
3 | 21, 282 |
7, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 94 = 3948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 792/42,276/564 is 12/3948
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 42,564 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,564) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,564) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,564) = ( 42 × 564 ) / 6
LCM(42,564) = 23688 / 6
LCM(42,564) = 3948
