Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2132,4584 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2132,4584 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/12900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2132/75,4584/172 is 4/12900
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 75,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(75,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(75,172) = ( 75 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(75,172) = 12900 / 1
LCM(75,172) = 12900
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
