1,2,3,4,6,12,89,178,267,356,534,1068
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2181,1068 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2181,1068 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 689,286
13 | 689, 286 |
53, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 53 x 22 = 15158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2181/689,1068/286 is 3/15158
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 689,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(689,286) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(689,286) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(689,286) = ( 689 × 286 ) / 13
LCM(689,286) = 197054 / 13
LCM(689,286) = 15158
