:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,349,698,1047,1396,2094,2792,4188,8376
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 900,8376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 900,8376 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,598
2 | 400, 598 |
200, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 200 x 299 = 119600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/119600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/400,8376/598 is 12/119600
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 400,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,598) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,598) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(400,598) = ( 400 × 598 ) / 2
LCM(400,598) = 239200 / 2
LCM(400,598) = 119600
