Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,504 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,504 is 72.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,6567
3 | 12, 6567 |
4, 2189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 2189 = 26268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 72/26268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/12,504/6567 is 72/26268
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 12,6567 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,6567) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,6567) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,6567) = ( 12 × 6567 ) / 3
LCM(12,6567) = 78804 / 3
LCM(12,6567) = 26268
