Lets's calculate GCF of 8,298,940
2 | 8, 298, 940 |
4, 149, 470 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 8
:1,2,4,8
Now, list down the factors of 298
:1,2,149,298
Now, list down the factors of 940
:1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,298,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,298,940 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,11,56
2 | 64, 11, 56 |
2 | 32, 11, 28 |
2 | 16, 11, 14 |
8, 11, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 8 x 11 x 7 = 4928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/64,298/11,940/56 is 2/4928
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 64,11,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,11,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(64,11,56) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(64,11,56) = ( 64 × 11 × 56 ) / 8
LCM(64,11,56) = 39424 / 8
LCM(64,11,56) = 4928
