Lets's calculate GCF of 888,800
2 | 888, 800 |
2 | 444, 400 |
2 | 222, 200 |
111, 100 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
Now, list down the factors of 888
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,37,74,111,148,222,296,444,888
Now, list down the factors of 800
:1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,32,40,50,80,100,160,200,400,800
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 888,800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 888,800 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 394,316
2 | 394, 316 |
197, 158 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 197 x 158 = 62252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/62252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/394,800/316 is 8/62252
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 394,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(394,316) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(394,316) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(394,316) = ( 394 × 316 ) / 2
LCM(394,316) = 124504 / 2
LCM(394,316) = 62252
