Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 825,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 825,221 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,976
2 | 16, 976 |
2 | 8, 488 |
2 | 4, 244 |
2 | 2, 122 |
1, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 61 = 976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 825/16,221/976 is 1/976
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 16,976 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,976) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,976) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(16,976) = ( 16 × 976 ) / 16
LCM(16,976) = 15616 / 16
LCM(16,976) = 976
