1,2,13,26,277,554,3601,7202
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1426,7202 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1426,7202 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,879
3 | 21, 879 |
7, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 293 = 6153
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6153
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1426/21,7202/879 is 2/6153
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 21,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,879) = ( 21 × 879 ) / 3
LCM(21,879) = 18459 / 3
LCM(21,879) = 6153
