Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2016,6984 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2016,6984 is 72.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 72/66994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2016/82,6984/817 is 72/66994
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 82,817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,817) = ( 82 × 817 ) / 1
LCM(82,817) = 66994 / 1
LCM(82,817) = 66994
