2 | 48, 18 |
3 | 24, 9 |
8, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Now, list down the factors of 96
:1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,36 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 206,824
2 | 206, 824 |
103 | 103, 412 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 103 x 1 x 4 = 824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/206,36/824 is 12/824
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 206,824 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(206,824) = 206
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(206,824) x common factors =206 x 1 = 206
LCM(206,824) = ( 206 × 824 ) / 206
LCM(206,824) = 169744 / 206
LCM(206,824) = 824
