Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1872,9684 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1872,9684 is 36.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,793
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 36/25376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1872/32,9684/793 is 36/25376
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 32,793 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,793) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,793) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,793) = ( 32 × 793 ) / 1
LCM(32,793) = 25376 / 1
LCM(32,793) = 25376
