:1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 860,516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 860,516 is 172.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,888
3 | 51, 888 |
17, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 296 = 15096
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 172/15096
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/51,516/888 is 172/15096
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 51,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,888) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,888) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,888) = ( 51 × 888 ) / 3
LCM(51,888) = 45288 / 3
LCM(51,888) = 15096
