1,3,1667,5001
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2178,5001 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2178,5001 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,108
2 | 38, 108 |
19, 54 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 54 = 2052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2178/38,5001/108 is 3/2052
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 38,108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,108) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,108) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(38,108) = ( 38 × 108 ) / 2
LCM(38,108) = 4104 / 2
LCM(38,108) = 2052
