3 | 873, 672 |
291, 224 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 873
:1,3,9,97,291,873
Now, list down the factors of 672
:1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,16,21,24,28,32,42,48,56,84,96,112,168,224,336,672
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 873,672 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 873,672 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,152
2 | 26, 152 |
13, 76 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 76 = 1976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 873/26,672/152 is 3/1976
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 26,152 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,152) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,152) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,152) = ( 26 × 152 ) / 2
LCM(26,152) = 3952 / 2
LCM(26,152) = 1976
