The GCF of 86,37 is 1 .
LCM of 916,1908 is 436932.
The greatest common factor of 86/916,37/1908 = [GCF of 86,37]/[LCM of 916,1908]= 1/436932
Therefore, the GCF of 86/916,37/1908 is 1/436932.
To find the highest common factor of 86,37, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 86 are 1, 2, 43, 86
The factors of 37 are 1, 37
The HCF of 86,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 86,37
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 916,1908
2 | 916, 1908 |
2 | 458, 954 |
229, 477 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 229 x 477 = 436932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/436932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/916,37/1908 is 1/436932
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 916,1908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(916,1908) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(916,1908) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(916,1908) = ( 916 × 1908 ) / 4
LCM(916,1908) = 1747728 / 4
LCM(916,1908) = 436932
