Lets's calculate GCF of 82,24
2 | 82, 24 |
41, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Now, list down the factors of 82
:1,2,41,82
Now, list down the factors of 24
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 82,24 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 82,24 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 120,3438
2 | 120, 3438 |
3 | 60, 1719 |
20, 573 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 20 x 573 = 68760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/68760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 82/120,24/3438 is 2/68760
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 120,3438 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(120,3438) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(120,3438) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(120,3438) = ( 120 × 3438 ) / 6
LCM(120,3438) = 412560 / 6
LCM(120,3438) = 68760
