Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3415,3875 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3415,3875 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,549
3 | 39, 549 |
13, 183 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 183 = 7137
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/7137
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3415/39,3875/549 is 5/7137
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 39,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,549) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,549) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,549) = ( 39 × 549 ) / 3
LCM(39,549) = 21411 / 3
LCM(39,549) = 7137
