Now, list down the factors of 908
:1,2,4,227,454,908
Now, list down the factors of 958
:1,2,479,958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 908,958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 908,958 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,172
2 | 64, 172 |
2 | 32, 86 |
16, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 16 x 43 = 2752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 908/64,958/172 is 2/2752
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 64,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(64,172) = ( 64 × 172 ) / 4
LCM(64,172) = 11008 / 4
LCM(64,172) = 2752
