Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 216,6924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 216,6924 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/36815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/37,6924/995 is 12/36815
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 37,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,995) = ( 37 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(37,995) = 36815 / 1
LCM(37,995) = 36815
