Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 887,749 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 887,749 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 224,108
2 | 224, 108 |
2 | 112, 54 |
56, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 56 x 27 = 6048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 887/224,749/108 is 1/6048
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 224,108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,108) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,108) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(224,108) = ( 224 × 108 ) / 4
LCM(224,108) = 24192 / 4
LCM(224,108) = 6048
