1,2,3,4,6,7,11,12,14,21,22,28,33,42,44,66,77,84,132,154,231,308,462,924
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 252,924 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 252,924 is 84.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,2007
3 | 99, 2007 |
3 | 33, 669 |
11, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 11 x 223 = 22077
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 84/22077
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/99,924/2007 is 84/22077
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 99,2007 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,2007) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,2007) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(99,2007) = ( 99 × 2007 ) / 9
LCM(99,2007) = 198693 / 9
LCM(99,2007) = 22077
