Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 905,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 905,842 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,7236
2 | 34, 7236 |
17, 3618 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 3618 = 123012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/123012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 905/34,842/7236 is 1/123012
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 34,7236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,7236) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,7236) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,7236) = ( 34 × 7236 ) / 2
LCM(34,7236) = 246024 / 2
LCM(34,7236) = 123012
