Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 874,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 874,254 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,2732
2 | 34, 2732 |
17, 1366 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 1366 = 46444
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/46444
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/34,254/2732 is 2/46444
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 34,2732 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,2732) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,2732) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,2732) = ( 34 × 2732 ) / 2
LCM(34,2732) = 92888 / 2
LCM(34,2732) = 46444
