Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2847,2015 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2847,2015 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,553
7 | 49, 553 |
7, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 79 = 3871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/3871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2847/49,2015/553 is 13/3871
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 49,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,553) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,553) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(49,553) = ( 49 × 553 ) / 7
LCM(49,553) = 27097 / 7
LCM(49,553) = 3871
