Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2749,9985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2749,9985 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,548
2 | 36, 548 |
2 | 18, 274 |
9, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 9 x 137 = 4932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2749/36,9985/548 is 1/4932
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 36,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,548) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,548) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(36,548) = ( 36 × 548 ) / 4
LCM(36,548) = 19728 / 4
LCM(36,548) = 4932
