Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2979,1869 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2979,1869 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 514,630
2 | 514, 630 |
257, 315 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 315 = 161910
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/161910
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2979/514,1869/630 is 3/161910
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 514,630 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,630) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,630) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,630) = ( 514 × 630 ) / 2
LCM(514,630) = 323820 / 2
LCM(514,630) = 161910
