Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1257,3258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1257,3258 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,612
2 | 24, 612 |
2 | 12, 306 |
3 | 6, 153 |
2, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 51 = 1224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1257/24,3258/612 is 3/1224
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 24,612 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,612) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,612) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(24,612) = ( 24 × 612 ) / 12
LCM(24,612) = 14688 / 12
LCM(24,612) = 1224
