So the greatest common factor 852,832 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,382
2 | 24, 382 |
12, 191 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 12 x 191 = 4584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 852/24,832/382 is 4/4584
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 24,382 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,382) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,382) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(24,382) = ( 24 × 382 ) / 2
LCM(24,382) = 9168 / 2
LCM(24,382) = 4584
