∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 7642
List of positive integer factors of 7642 that divides 7642 without a remainder.
1,2,3821,7642
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,7642 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,7642 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 227,8775
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1991925
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1991925
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/227,7642/8775 is 2/1991925
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 227,8775 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,8775) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,8775) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,8775) = ( 227 × 8775 ) / 1
LCM(227,8775) = 1991925 / 1
LCM(227,8775) = 1991925
